Interview with Naveen Sridhar, Author of Vinoda’s Vengeance

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Vinoda’s Vengeance?

Today, there is plenty of talk about the clash of cultures. In ancient times, cultures could coexist, and even a confluence was possible. However, as always, individuals had their problems. In my youth, our school tasked us with writing a critical appreciation of a story set in ancient times featuring two juxtaposed cultures and the above theme. It was a naïve love story with a meaningless beginning and ending. I had difficulty appreciating anything much then and even now, but it gave me an impetus to write.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Vinoda’s Vengeance, what would they be?

“Stronger” by Christina Aguilera.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

No. My favorite genres are biography, mystery, and history.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

The Golden Road by W. Dalrymple.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

This is the scene where the protagonist has a dialog with an author. Under the guise of a philosophical discussion, the protagonist elicits information decisive to the story.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

Writing is art, not science. You are an artist. It is the passion that you follow. Success will chase you like your shadow.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

When confronted with unexpected challenges, anyone may face profound choices and subsequent judgment. Can you be the judge?
