About The Book

A woman wakes up confused in Malkangiri District Hospital in Odisha. When a nurse wants to know her name, she blacks out in terror at the realization that she has no idea who she is.

The next time she wakes up, the terror returns, but she wills herself to look at her world more rationally. She discovers she’s suffered a head injury and lost some of her memories in the aftermath. When the police come, she finds out that she knows more about guns and violence than any common citizen should. Floating voices in her head tell her: trust no one, keep to yourself, you’ve been through worse and survived.

When a psychiatrist is brought in to find out whether she’s faking her amnesia, she's inclined to trust him.

Her fingerprints lead the police to believe that she is part of a group that's planning a major operation soon. While the investigating agency fears that her former colleagues might try to have her killed before she can testify.

Deciding that she needs legal help, the psychiatrist calls in a former Supreme Court advocate. Given the concern and support from the psychiatrist and the lawyer, Jasmine is torn: should she give up her group that supported her when she had nowhere else to go? Or these two people, who believe in her when no one else would?

My Name is Jasmine is a riveting saga of betrayal and revenge, and the deep-rooted conflicts which continue to dismantle the very foundation of India.

His most memorable achievement has been a solo forty-day 11,000-km motorbike ride around India.

He has written fairy tales, thrillers, literary fiction, satires, and a romance. His ambition is to write a really outstanding fairy tale, but for the time being he's working on a travelogue through his own mind.
