For me, the day job comes first. That's why I call myself a diplomat who writes, not a writer who masquerades as a diplomat. If the day job demands it, I won't write at all. I write in what I call 'the crevices of my day job', and that comes only on weekends.
From Vikas Swarup
I am not into the unrealistic realm of magic realism where birds talk.
The first thing you have to understand is that I was not desperate to be a writer. I was never a closet writer filing away notes in a cupboard.
The writer's is an interior world, a world of the mind.
My first novel was a challenge to myself. No one had an inkling that I was working on it.
Global terror does not respect national boundaries.
