Be it a history class in my high school, a news story on the daily paper or the novel, 'An Equal Music' by Vikram Seth, I have been inspired by every book and every story that I had read over years. Like a kid who looks into the star lit sky and imagines to pick them with his hand, I enjoy picking the bestest of the infinite possibilities of a plausible event and conceive a story out of it. I consider literary world a beautiful and ever exciting alternate reality and I feel lucky to be part of it. I have graduated from IIT Guwahati and have been working as front-end application developer in Bengaluru since then. Ever since the dream of becoming an author turned itself into a seed of passion and grew in me, I enlarged my 24-hour day to fit my writing. I am Uttej Goparaju and this book, 'Love, Life & Fiction' is my first publication.
