An Interview with Nikhil D Hegde - The author of the book 'The Water Veil'

Nikhil was born in Mumbai, where a career in engineering began and took him to Dubai and the U.S. later on. Writing was only a distant plan all this while.
Returning to India, however, he dove into it headlong and came up with a few short stories. One of these found its way to publication in the Sunday Herald in Bangalore.
The Water Veil is Nikhil’s debut novel. Alongside his daytime work in education technology, Nikhil is now focused on his second book.

Monika Bhatti, an ambitious and courageous author, defies impossibilities with intellect and passion.
Her journey as an author is a testament to her profound insights and depth of understanding. In her book, she delves into intricate and profound topics, crafting a narrative that resonates with beauty and depth. Through her words, she not only enlightens readers but also inspires them to perceive the world through a different lens.

Nidhi Raichand is the author of Moms in the wild. She often suspects that her life is secretly a sitcom. Set in Bangalore, the main cast includes Nidhi as the cool-headed, witty and lovable mom of two, working a corporate job while also trying to pursue her literary dreams. Her husband is played by Vishay, who is also very cool (not as cool as her, of course) and is often the cause of many of the show’s hijinks. Two beautiful and spirited children round out the cast and ensure there’s never a dull moment. Recurring characters include lots of friends and family, office colleagues and an ever-rotating cast of cooks. All this against the backdrop of the beautiful skies and the not-so-beautiful roads of the city. When not dealing with the crisis of the day, Nidhi enjoys reading, watching ’90s shows and movies, travelling and long walks while listening to podcasts. Her catchphrase is ‘Oh ‑fish!’ (this is a family-friendly sitcom, after all).
