What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I have been fascinated by the story of creation of River Ganges from childhood, the story has been described in Indian epics like Ramayana. The story has emphasis on the human ingenuity and efforts but always felt the way its described or narrated the envelope of spirituality and divine intervention takes the sheen away of the human effort.
So after having thought through the same story in light of new information like changes at the end of last ice age I decided to narrate the story in different light without that envelope.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
As the story is based on the story told as part of the epic the main character outlines were already available and I had to put flesh and blood to those outlines to make them alive but I had to create number of new characters which must have got omitted as the story got condensed to be included as part of the epics.
I really enjoyed creating the characters like ‘Shunga’, ‘Sauda’, ‘Aditya’, ‘Amrapali’ , ‘Subala’ , ‘Gautam’ and those standing shoulder to shoulder with the main characters like ‘Bhagirath’, ‘Anshuman’ and ‘Sagar’
