During school days.

I grew up in the city of Nagpur in India and during school days wrote some short stories in local newspaper and school magazine.

It's born out of a desire to have an end to the ever increasing turmoil, hatred and selfish greed on this planet. I feel more than anybody else its the kids who need to realise the need for such an approach so that they grow up into responsible adults cherishing peace and love among all beings of this planet. I feel telling a story is the finest way to bring about this change rather than trying to drill didactic morales deep into their unwilling heads.

The desire to tell my story to the whole world and discover readers who would like to read it without the limitations of geographic boundaries.

Immensely. It helps me reach out to the whole world.

It helps me to grow as a person.

Everything. I strive to see them happy after reading my work.

I'm a doctor (an Orthopaedic Surgeon) by profession and the desire to help a needy patient stimulates me. I always try to write very early in the morning before the clinical work begins and it inspires me to be out of bed early every day.

Reading some good book, watching Discovery channel on TV at times to be able to know about various aspects of life on this earth where it might not be physically possible for me to go.

Search it on the internet.

It was a short anecdote about an exercise routine gone wrong on the very first day in one of the local newspaper. Next day was a proud moment in the school for me when teachers and friends congratulated me about it.

I begin from one sentence central theme of the story and then go over to devise characters and slowly develop the storyboard.

It's better to hire a professional designer who can do the job. Someone who has already some exciting designs to his credit. His fees is worth the expense.

Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe - Its the first true novel in its modern form. The struggle of a man living all alone for 20 years on a remote island has been vividly written about. It was inspired by a true story of a pirate. It's really difficult to write a novel with just one character.
David Copperfield - Charles Dickens - A fascinating story of a young boy to his adulthood, extremely well written with a fabulous story line and some really memorable characters. "Barkis is willing!' simply can't forget it.
Count of Monte Cristo - Alexander Dumas - Was retold by our crafts teacher during school days and the pirates, treasure, sea enthralled my young mind. I read it when I grew up.
Harry Potter - J K Rowling - I loved the way it has been written and the lovely storyline. The author has devised a unique way of telling the back-story without hampering the flow of narration.
Lord of the RIngs - J R R Tolkein - A wonderful fantasy with great English and Gollum!
I would also name a fantasy fiction in Hindi -
Chandrakanta - Babu Devki Nandan Khatri - Perhaps the father of Indian Fantasy fiction
