Exploring the Depths of Imagination : Kiran Manral

I don't really think about balancing anything. I don't think my books are really balancing anything, they're just telling stories and sometimes they're funny, at others they're dark and grim.

Exploring the Depths of Imagination : Kiran Manral

Kiran Manral is a well-known author in India, having written several fiction and non-fiction books. Her latest work, 'All Those Who Wander,' explores the themes of time, existence, and emotional healing through multiple stories and characters from different timelines. In this interview, Manral discusses her inspiration for the book, her writing process, and the message she hopes readers will take away.

The Inspiration Behind 'All Those Who Wander'

Manral's inspiration for 'All Those Who Wander' came from the many what-ifs and regrets we all carry throughout our lives. She wanted to explore the idea of going back in time to warn our younger selves and change the course of our lives. From there, the story evolved to include multiple timelines and perspectives, coexisting in the same space and time.

She says, “What if one had taken this path instead of that, what if one had bumped into this person when one did, what if one knew that the route one was taking was dangerous and would lead us to an accident, the possibilities branch out to an entire network of possible optional lives.”
