I believe Neil D'Silva is the most apt disciple of Stephen King's craft in India. Not only his exploration of fear- not just the supernatural- but also in his prolific nature as an author.  Comes across as a deeply insightful man, Neil knows what he is doing.  I tried to explore his deeper reasons to explore what he does- fear. How aspirations took shape very early on in his childhood and how at the age of 39 he decided to commit full-time to writing. Not an easy journey but worth following and learning for most of us. Do listen, and understand the man behind the scary pages of the books that he writes. Its worth an hour of your time, I assure.

In my quest to explore the path from adversities to breakthrough, I talk with Sandeep Nayyar, who shared the gravest phase of his life and how he not only came out of it alive but found his breakthroughs. Sandeep took me on a journey back in time when everything seemed to gradually die for him. Holding onto the teachings of San Joan of Cross and Joseph Campbell, Sandeep survived, and eventually created the life path that was destined for him. He wrote his first book after that and since then has been writing non-stop. More about Sandeep can be found at : Sahind.com  His books are here at: https://www.amazon.in/Sandeep-Nayyar/e/B00NNSRD6K Background Music Courtesy: Www.Purple-Planet.com ( Folksy Days )

This is the episode that explains why I am doing this? This gives a little snippet into my personal life and how I think on the topic of making your own life. I find that people have all the answers. In my journey to talk to people about their most intense journeys I will be attempting to find the lowest common denominators. Who Am I? Author ( A to B: How To move From Adversity to Breakthrough With Powerful Storytelling, HarperCollins India, 2019) I tweet here and expose more of my eccentric brain, and My LInkedIn tries to explain a bit more about what I have been and why. Masters level education in literature ( University of Liverpool, UK) allows me to show off a bit when reviewing books and films. But 'common sense' is my best asset ( I hope)
