Blog postOn my blog this week, I welcome my author friend Devika Fernando who writes multiple series and stand-alone novels in multiple genres. Simply keeping pace with Devika's fast and furious book releases is exhausting...and also extremely awe-inspiring. Seriously, Devika, you need to give me that recipe to your secret sauce! 😄
Without further ado, here's a look at 'Sweet Surprises', the latest title from the author. This is Book 3 in the Inn Love Series.

Blog postBy Jaideep Sen
For a while I wasn’t being able to identify what to base my next piece of SALAAM SALIM SAAB on till the Legend himself cleared my dilemma. During a recent conversation he mentioned that when they had narrated the biggest game changer film in contemporary Indian Cinema, Zanjeer, to a renowned film director of that era, he had told Salim Saab that they had wasted two and a half hours of his precious time.
Now that was a statement that grabbed my immediate at -
Blog postThere's something exciting about releasing a new book. Especially one which you hadn't really planned on writing -- but kind of happened on the fly. But more about that story later.
First, let me tell you about the spanking new ebook that I have released. It's a romance novella and the first book in the Soulmates Series. The first title - Just The Way You Are - is Yash and Shikha's story.

Blog postBollywood's track record of horror films is not much to write about. The Ramsay Brothers' body of work in this genre is the most popular and also extremely cringe worthy - the ghouls are more likely to make you laugh than cower in fear. However, to be fair, the filmmakers worked with shoestring budgets and the VFX age had not dawned yet. The Ramsays have their die-hard fans till date, if only for their campy style and absurd plotlines.
So when Stree (released in 2019) was billed as -

It’s often said that good writing can stand the test of time. Its power and relevance can shine through decades later. This thought struck me like a double whammy in the context of the masterful works of Salim Saab and his erstwhile writing partner Javed Akhtar Saab.

Blog postOn the occasion of Father’s Day Jaideep Sen pens a heartfelt piece for Salim Saab who is more than a father figure to him. Read on…
I don’t remember the context in which I made this particular call to Salim Saab one evening during the interval of a Film that I was watching at PVR Citi Mall, Mumbai. But as usual it was enriching because in the course of the conversation when I mentioned to him that in my understanding, a Love Story comprises of the relationship between a boy and gir -

As I stood in front of Veeru (Devgan) Ji’s pyre last evening I felt that an era of genuine “greatness” had come to an end.

Blog postDo authors love some of their own books more than others they have written? Having been a writer for a while now, I believe that every book is special - and I have felt deeply about each of my characters. But if I were to pick that one title that has a special place in my heart, it would be No Safe Zone.
It's a romantic thriller - my first in this genre - which is set in one of my favourite places in the world: Jaipur. It features a feisty heroine Qiara Rana who is an ac -

Blog postThere is a new book on the indie publishing block and it's called The Indian Prince's Scandalous Bride. Better still, it's been written by the fabulous DEVIKA FERNANDO. I simply love the title and all that it promises on its pages (ahem!). When I asked the author why she likes writing about 'scandalous' women, here's what she had to say. She has very helpfully added an excerpt from the book, which simply wants me to pick up the book right away! Over to Devika!

Deewaar one of the two greatest Films ever made in Indian Cinema – the other being Sholay – celebrated its glorious forty-fourth birthday on 24 January, 2019. On the august occasion, I take a look at one of the female characters who provided the film with strength, style and substance. While many of you may think this is going to be an ode to Sumitra Devi, the mother of Vijay and Ravi who has gone into the hall of pride of Indian cinema, I would like to put the spotlig -
