Wherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme, there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because I am an optimist at heart. I know the sun will rise in the morning, that there is a light at the end of every tunnel.

When I was young, I used to think that adults were perfect human beings.
I truly believed that adults did not lie, cheat or steal because I thought that these were imperfections, which we all grew out of.
How wrong I was.
It was not until I became an adult and witnessed, was impacted by or was the doer of the lying, cheating and stealing that I had realized the error in my naive thoughts.
There is no black and white in this world.
There are no good people and bad people; we are all flawed, we all make mistakes and we all commit harms.
And it’s okay that we do, really, it is.
