In my 2nd time on TSAUS, I talked about my new book " Spies, Lies and Allies". I also talked about how being 'boring' and staying off X helped me meet my tight deadline. Boring= getting up at 5 am, walking 10 k daily, writing daily and resisting the urge to air my views.
The most astonishing men lie in the far, forgotten corners of history. @kavitharao joins me in episode 416 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss the lives of two magnificent failures, Chatto and Roy: As epic as the first time Kavitha was on the show!🙂.

Glad to see M.N Roy get more attention. The more books, the merrier on this fascinating man. A number of us seem to be writing on him 😉 .#spiesliesallies.
Tall, charismatic, mysterious. For those who like their political thinkers with a side of intrigue this will hit the spot. Presenting MN Roy and his escapades:.

Asking anything on X is like throwing a pebble down the Grand Canyon, but do any oldies here remember a beautiful magazine called The India Magazine: of her people and culture? And know where I can get back issues? Little trace of it.

This is an absolutely fabulous explainer for anyone who wants to get published.
We have a new website and it’s fab! It includes a detailed page on getting published that has info about finances, understanding contracts, and the publishing process. Our aim was to create a resource page for all writers. Tell me what you think?.

This review of my book ' Spies, Lies and Allies" is special because the reviewer Mr Vappala Balachandran was a top intelligence officer, special secretary of GoI and a close observer of the events in my book. "Crisp". " Dramatic". " Delightful". All the things I hoped for.
'Kavitha Rao had done a great service in unearthing the lives of these two patriots who had contributed, in their own way, towards our independence.'. Read this review of @kavitharao's Spies, Lies and Allies in @thewire_in here:
