Tell you what, Ravanayan was our primary reason to start HCE in the 1 st place, the publicity picked up pretty well for it and then we understood that it needs an independent treatment and no other person or company would be able to give that – its more like raising your own baby versus raising someone else’s baby and you always give your best to your own baby Ravanayan is being received with a bang by people, in face we have sold more than 700 copies of issue 01 on the internet itself. ![]() Moreover, it was the start of a company and we thought that we should start with a fatter book in the beginning, so WereHouse was released. We did not even have any proper ideas about how the distribution channel and network works and so we could not risk Ravanayan 01 to be blocked or face hurdles in the distribution system. Technically Ravanayan was planned to release before WereHouse but the GN was complete way before Ravanayan and we thought of releasing it first. ![]()

Excerpts (“Daily Lines”) from Book Tenįor Excerpts (aka “Daily Lines”) from this new novel, you will always be able to access them here.Įxcerpts are listed on the right by temporary titles, which have something to do with that particular snippet.

Apart from colour, we were shunned because we did not bring in patients ourselves but, like vultures, lived off the patients generated by other doctors.
