"I was quite captivated by storytelling since my very early childhood. A few in my circle of friends read my writings and often challenged my creativity with a topic that might be 'boring': a chair, a mosquito, a car repair shop; and I would take it upon myself to write a story. I started writing 'Coinman: An Untold Conspiracy' in early 2003, at Bangalore in India, after a good acquaintance of mine challenged me to write a short story about someone's peculiar habit of jingling coins in his pocket. As I began writing, I discovered that the topic needed more elaborate treatment. I finished the book in 2007 but had no plans to publish it. Early this year, I decided to dedicate time on the weekends to get the novel published."
