A mystery hidden in the Soul of India
What begins as a hostage crisis quickly evolves into a complex investigation involving ancient artifacts, political demands, secret societies, and questions that challenge long-held beliefs.
When six innocent victims are kidnapped by a zealot who claims to be an Avatār of Lord Viṣṇu, the nation faces a terrifying ultimatum.
The only hope lies with Dr. Hari—a mathematician, Indologist, and reluctant investigator—and his friend Arjun, a senior R&AW officer.
Their search leads them deep into the heart of Vārāṇasī, where every ghat hides a clue and every revelation uncovers a larger mystery.

About Me
A Journey across Cultures, Ideas, and Stories
My life has been shaped by diverse experiences. Born in India, raised in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and having spent much of my adult life in the United States, I have witnessed how different cultures preserve identity, tradition, and belief in unique ways. These experiences have profoundly influenced my writing.
I am deeply inspired by:
- Indian History and Civilization
- The Vedas and Upanishads
- Śrīmad Bhāgavata Mahā Purāṇa
- Sanātana Dharma
- Modern Technology and Artificial Intelligence
- Historical Mysteries and Conspiracy Thrillers
As an avid reader, I admire the storytelling styles of Dan Brown and Ashwin Sanghi, both of whom have inspired my passion for blending historical ideas with contemporary suspense.
The Inspiration behind the book
Ancient Questions. Modern Consequences.
The Broken Smṛti was born from a fascination with India’s rich intellectual traditions and the questions that continue to shape society today.
I wanted to create a story that combines:
- Ancient Indian knowledge systems
- Historical exploration
- Contemporary social issues
- Fast-paced thriller storytelling
The result is a novel that invites readers into a world where the past and present collide in unexpected ways.
My Perspective
Stories that Entertain and Inspire Reflection
I believe great stories do more than provide excitement.
They encourage us to question.
They invite us to think.
They challenge us to see familiar ideas from new perspectives.
Through my writing, I hope readers experience not only the thrill of the mystery but also a deeper appreciation for India’s history, culture, and intellectual heritage.
