I Published My Book, And It's Now A Bestseller!

Wow, it's actually here.

Hey friends,

Greetings from the happiest place in the universe!

The wait is over. My book is on Amazon India. Click here to buy it.

Writing my book has been a roller coaster adventure for me. It has taken 2 & ½ long years. It’s the single hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, and I couldn’t be more grateful for your support in making it all possible.

The book is the story of my life, over the last 7 years, searching for nature and wildlife across India as a teenager.

It talks about wild landscapes like the Western Ghats, Eastern Ghats, and the Himalayas. It talks about a wide plethora of creatures—elephants, leopards, snakes, vultures, and everything in between.

And at its core, it traces the story of my life searching for all these animals while navigating the troubles of growing up in the 21st century.

I illustrated the book myself, along taking most of the colour photographs. And I am thrilled to say that the book has received rave reviews from so many people that I admire and look up to.

The book is already an Amazon bestseller, and praise has been pouring in. I cannot believe it. Thank you all for your support.

And so I humbly ask that you click here and buy the book. It would mean the world to me!

Favourite Quote

At a time when the right idea presented the right way can ripple across the world at the speed of light, spawning copies of itself in millions of minds, there’s huge benefit to figuring out how best to set it on its way, both for you, the speaker-in-waiting, and for the rest of us who need to know what you have to say. - Chris Anderson
