		He was born in the dying days of the Raj and had, by his own account, a somewhat lonely childhood, marked by his parents' divorce and his mother's remarriage.

		As a writer, he is as productive as ever in his early seventies, and gets many of his ideas by reminiscing while gazing out of the windows of his apartment over towards the Lower Western Himalaya, the Pauri Hills and the Doon Valley from his perch atop Mullingar Hill in Landour Cantonment.
