More quotes by Ashwin Sanghi
Though it is very easy to do valuations, eyeballs and brand prominence surveys, you should never allow any of them to influence the balance sheet.

I believe that every writer evolves with every successive novel. I view myself as work-in-progress.

I like to joke that I probably hold the world record for rejection letters. Yes, the truth is that I was fed up of being rejected repeatedly, and self-publicatio n was an act of defiance at traditional publishing. But life works in strange ways.

I work in a business environment forty hours a week, and writing is what I do to unwind.

It also allows me to live and breathe a topic for eighteen months while I'm researching and writing.

Mythology works... because Indians have been bred on myths.
Ashwin Sanghi
What I would not like is to be ignored. I write from the heart. I don't write for me. I write for my readers.
Ashwin Sanghi
While growing up, I always had to depend on foreign authors for page-turners. I think of myself as a commercial writer, and my job is simple to entertain you.

I was learning book-keeping at the age of 12, but it never stopped me from pursuing literature. Over the years, I grew to love the written word.
Ashwin Sanghi
Writing was my route to creative expression, and I needed to write about the things that interested me.
Ashwin Sanghi
I was a businessman for 16 years of my life, so when I started writing, I wanted to keep my literary identity separate.
Ashwin Sanghi
What I have found is that, in a family business structure, sometimes what is needed is a sense of discipline rather than creativity. You have to take everyones ideas and make it work. When you are dealing with money, there is a limitation on how creative you can be.

What is divine? It is simply that which man has not been able to understand. Once you do, it loses its divinity.
