I write on sacred stories, symbols and rituals of all cultures - European, American and Chinese - but my audiences, typically, like me to focus on India.

Nobody knows why we're alive so we all create stories based on our imagination of the world and as a community, we believe in the same story. In India, every person believes his/ her own mythosphere to be real. Indian thought is obsessed with subjectivity Greek thought with objectivity.

Within infinite myths lies the Eternal Truth Who sees it all? Varuna has but a thousand eyes Indra, a hundred And I, only two

The crown could go to a person with the most talent. But how could ‘most talent’ be determined? So Indian society settled on age.

Refusal to accept the flow of the world is the root of all misery.

I have been doodling since childhood. I have a passion for illustrating but cannot paint or colour for that matter. I illustrate what I am trying to communicate through my writing. My images are like drawings in a science text book.

Mythology is a subjective truth. Every culture imagines life a certain way.

Neither death nor wisdom has a full stop. There are only commas-no destinations, only waiting rooms.

In Greek mythology, the hero wants to be great, but the very concept does not exist in the Indian vocabulary. Yet it has become the global template. And it's a template that won't fit in India.

Mythology is a vast body of knowledge that has not been tapped.
