From Murzban Shroff, author of one of the “Book Recommendations for 2022” that I listed here: 

“A small note to say: I stumbled upon your website here, which lists one of my recent books, Third Eye Rising, as a recommendation – and I was quite blown away to learn of your accomplishments and interests. Would you, by any chance, be based in New York or California? The reason I ask is: I will be visiting the US this fall on a reading tour and would consider it an honor to meet you. We could discuss our mutual love for books and literature and our individual journeys. Mine has been an interesting one: from corporate life to the literary, including intense persecution that brought my life and family under threat. Either way, I am very pleased to have known of you and wish you the best in your endeavors. I am Mumbai-based, so should you ever visit, please don’t hesitate to call.”
