More quotes by Ashwin Sanghi
In order to become the master, a ruler must profess to be a servant of the people.
Ashwin Sanghi
I want to be remembered as a storyteller more than someone who had something meaningful to say.
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.

After writing each novel, I would spend days poring over suggestions from my editor.

I work in a business environment forty hours a week, and writing is what I do to unwind. It allows me to transport myself to a happy place where I can indulge my hopes, beliefs, aspirations and fantasies. It also allows me to live and breathe a topic for eighteen months while I'm researching and writing.

Ashwin Sanghi
There has to be a protagonist who has to overcome challenges, and there will be a race to finish.

Winning an award is a great feeling but winning the Vodafone Crossword Popular Choice Award is particularly exhilarating because it is based upon public voting. I find it a strange quirk of fate that Chanakya's Chant, a political tale, should end up winning an election!

Battles are won and lost before they are fought.

Mythology works... because Indians have been bred on myths.

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 helps me create a different world that I can escape to.
Ashwin Sanghi
In the Sanghi family, there is no one who has undertaken intellectual pursuits.
Ashwin Sanghi
I would imagine that anyone picking up a book written by me would expect a fast-paced story that requires minimal effort to turn the pages. The reader would also be looking for some out-of-the-ordinary revelations along the way. At the end of the day, I'm a writer who simply loves revealing stuff that is out-of-the-ordinary.

O Rakshas, everything is always all right in the end. If it isn't all right, then it isn't the end
