Last week BookChums got the opportunity to moderate the launch of Suraj 'Eskay' Sriram's latest offering- Indira Gandhi – The Final Chapter.

So kids will have no difficulty breezing through the stories. Talking to the author-sisters would really ma...

I couldn't resist the opportunity to interview the author to know more about the ideation and the writing process.
Here's all that the author shared with us.

Ever since there have been humans on earth, or more precisely, the male and female species, there has been the omnipresent fatal attraction that goes around by the name of love. It is thus no wonder that writers from time immemorial have featured love in their stories. One of the few early examples includes Indian poet Kalidasa and his poems Sakoontala and Meghdootam.
