Sunanda Kesavadas

I have always loved stories and words. I started writing when I was nine or ten, dad's discarded workplace diaries filled with stories that came to me. Most never got completed but they were good exercise. Now, when inspiration comes I am generally able to complete the story.

I am not an engineer (ha ha ha) and I don't have an MBA but I certainly want to be published some day. In the past I worked with companies like EXL, Infosys and now am the CEO of my family (hubby is the only one reporting to me, the kids do whatever they want). I am also very much a child of the 80s and the 90s. I get nostalgic for Delhi Doordarshan, Zee Antakshari and Amar Chitra Katha. I grew up in a small town but have lived in big cities and loved them. I am simple person. Give me a book and I am happy.

The American Heiress - Chapter 1
Sunanda Kesavadas
Neville tried. He tried his hardest, really. Even though the stiffness of his winged collar chafed at his neck and the fit of his newest evening trousers could have been more generous at the waist (a tad, surely!), Neville did not so much as flinch as chaperone after chaperone, matron... read more...
