Tention Free : Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education etc. ??
I spent my formative years in India, received my high school, college and medical education in India and England, before coming to America over three decades ago to become an award-winning academic endocrinologist. My abiding love for India’s history, traditions, and people underpins a deep understanding of its spectrum of religious and ethnic contrasts, ranging from the sublime to the grotesque. Bloodbath is the first in a planned series of suspense thrillers set at the intersection of my intimate knowledge of Indian society, life experiences as a world traveller and physician, and study of the martial arts. I am widely-published, and the author of over forty medical publications, including a book on the unique influence of culture and tradition on medical education in Japan. I am widely travelled—31 countries at last count—including 12 trips to Japan in 10 years.
Tention Free : We been hearing a lot about you, so we notice your starting to gain a lot of attention how does it feel?
I am astonished, frankly, that something I took up as a lark to fulfill to fulfill a long-held and unrequited fantasy of writing a suspense thriller might just work out—could there be anything better than succeeding at having fun?
Tention Free : What kind of training have you had, if any ?
I have no formal training in writing, although Creative Writing was one of my favorite subjects at school. I do, however, have experience as an author in my professional career as an academic physician.
Tention Free : What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?
Bloodbath, my first work of fiction, makes me more proud than all my professional writings, achievements and accolades.

To live vicariously in a world I have created, where my inadequacies don’t hamper me.
Tention Free : Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?

Tention Free : Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?
My life outside work revolves around my family—my wife, daughters, grandchildren…and my Australian Shepherd, Bandit. They are my stress relievers, more powerful and effective than any “happy pill” ever conceived or created!
