All aspiring screenwriters out there, interested in writing a comedy on television, I’m looking for an assistant.
Essential Qualifications:
- You must be a resident of Bombay, preferably, living within a one hour periphery of say, Seven Bungalows, Andheri west. As you all know, given the traffic, you could be in Lokhandwala and it can still be challenge to travel two kilometres in that time. So go figure.
- You must be willing to set your personal life aside. Birthdays, anniversaries, deaths. No exceptions. If you commit to writing an episode and then leave me hanging at the last minute, remember, I’ll do the same with your moneies.
And now, the not so essential qualifications:
- You must love writing.
- You must have a knack for storytelling.
- You must have a basic understanding of screenwriting. And by that I don’t mean you need to have experience.
If you think you meet the requirements, please drop me a line at my email address given on the sidebar. Give your name, background and phone number.
When tall, suave, handsome Kaustav Kapoor walks into her office, ditzy private investigator Kasthuri (aka Katie) Kumar has anything but detection on her mind. He is, after all, a scion of Bollywood’s first family—perhaps he has a role for her? Perhaps she will, at last, get to sashay down the red carpet in a designer gown, with flash bulbs following her every move?
But Kapoor’s intentions are much more prosaic: he wishes Katie to trace the heroine of his new blockbuster (and, if Katie’s read the glossies correctly, his life) who is mysteriously AWOL. Despite her misgivings, Katie finds herself unable to refuse the task entrusted to her, and thereon follows a bewildering hunt for the film star across a trail of corpses.
And if that isn’t excitement enough, she has to contend with the maddening and mysterious, but, oh-so-hot, Tejas Deshpande.
The first in a brand new detective series.
IN BOOKSTORES NOW.
what should a wannabe writer do to grab this opportunity if he is willing to shift to Mumbai?? well please think about it.. i think i fit the bill except that i dont live in mumbai.. but as i said i m willing to shift to Mumbai so i hope you will consider..
Gourav, it’s great that you are willing to go the distance for your dreams. I suggest you move to Mumbai first and then start looking around. As for me, I can’t wait that long. Plus I already have quite a few responses. But do shift to Mumbai and get in touch again. Who knows things might work out between us.
Hi Smita, I simply loved Kkrishna Knfessions and am reviewing it for Citadel [A Magna Mag] for its next issue. Really looking forward to read your next book.

Nikhil, thank you for that. I’m glad you enjoyed KK. About the dhang, dhang bit, it’s good for laughs, even if it’s a bit like biting the hand that feeds you.
Oops, you already have, it seems. I was wondering. Anyway, can you tell me, which according to you is funniest part of your book. Please! 🙂 Or lets put it this way – when you were really laughing while writing. Were you?
Hey and why does it take so long to moderate message? It should fast be like a swoosh; flick of the shawl over the shoulder. But this takes too long and I kind of bear all the close-ups, distant shots, lightening etc.
And yes amazing isn’t it, I actually sometimes dream that garland from the ‘smiling Krishna’ statue would bestow a flower and everything would change. So it is his trick after all, which you guys milk to the hilt.
🙂 Hey, Nikhil give me a break:) I am not constantly on my blog. After all, the dhang dhang and schvoom scvooms beckon:)
As for the funniest bits, I will have to send you an email. Otherwise it will be like giving the game away:)
