Anuj Bahari has always been a really good literary agent for me. What a good agent does is that he manages many of your business aspects so you can keep your time free for writing. Amish Tripathi agentanujaspect Change image and share on social
I turned atheist in the '90s when India went through troubled times - communal riots, bomb blasts... Mumbai, where I live, was badly affected. I blamed religion; also, extremists on both sides - right and left. Amish Tripathi 90saffectatheist share on social

I loved history in my school days, and I have always been a voracious reader. But in India, you end up doing MBA, engineering or medicine. Amish Tripathi dayendengineer Change image and share on social
