Hey friends 👋
By day I work in the oil & gas industry in Kuwait. By night I write novels, study the psychology of ambition, and share frameworks for living well — in English and Malayalam. Author of the upcoming novel The Deserving Devil.
Once a week, I share one idea from psychology or philosophy, one lesson from the migrant life between Kerala and the Gulf, and one thing worth reading. Written for people building a life far from where they started. Free, always.

Novels and stories shaped by farms, migration, and the question of what we deserve.
Start herePsychology, philosophy, and timeless frameworks — Ikigai to Chanakya — for modern life.
Start hereHonest reflections on building a career, family, and identity in the Gulf.
Start hereWhat I'm learning about the craft of fiction, publishing, and finding your voice.
Start hereA philosophical novel of power, prayer, and consequence — tracing one timeless mechanism of ambition across civilizations, from ancient boons to the age of AI. What do we ask for, what does it cost, and who finally pays?
I grew up in Vazhakulam, a farming village in Kerala's Ernakulam district, where my father worked the land and stories were the evening's only luxury. That world — its labour, its faith, its quiet philosophies — is the soil everything I write grows from.
"Every story I write begins in that soil."
The road since has run through Tirupur, Bangalore, Dubai, and now Kuwait, where I've spent years in the oil & gas industry while writing before dawn and after dusk. I write about migration because I've lived it, and about power and purpose because the Gulf teaches you both, fast.
If any part of this resonates with your own journey — welcome. Everything I share here is free, and I hope some of it is useful.
