Even though a debut author, Anand Suspi, is not new to the creative world. Half Pants Full Pants, is a serendipitous labor of love by Anand who, in his own words, did not have a 'book' in mind. HPFP brings to the viewer, an unadulterated, undiluted, and unsullied innocence that seems to have been lost to the viewers in recent years. For an audience and a reader caught in the quagmire of overtwisted plots and gruesome conflicts, HPFP comes with a simple story set in the 70s, capturing a life that brings together the forgotten familiarity of chug-chugging trains in lazy summer afternoons, when life's pace slows down to a tranquil halt.
Crossing paths through labyrinthine lanes of a sleepy small town that hide adventures at each turn, turning the little protagonists into detectives at one and philanthropists at the other, one is bound to remember the little adventures of our own. We got in touch with the man in action and asked a few questions.

How and why did your plan to write "Half Pants Full Pants" come about, as it is mostly autobiographical?
I have been an advertising writer for 25 years. I never had the intention to write a book. This was purely accidental.
One day, in 2012, I sat down to write a page of prose to convince myself that I could write beyond advertising. This exercise purely for me, and I didn't have a 'book' destination in mind.
Childhood is a sacred and important part of each person's life do you think your generation "the 70's kids" had more fun?
