Chandrashekhar Mahajan juggles his time between a full-time corporate job (banking at that), his literary quest (reading, wondering and writing) and entertaining a young one of four with stories and fables. He admires works with humane touch, those which amuse yet reflect the conflicts faced by individuals, factions or the race as a whole. He is generally on a high with a literary work or two which he almost naggingly recommends to his friends; latest being A Gentleman in Moscow and Born a Crime.
