In English, he is always trying to explore new zenith of fiction. He has come out with two dazzling fiction books- a book of story collection (Sorry Sir) and a novel (A Rebel of Innocence), both are all set to get published. Apart from it, he had the credit to three books get published in Hindi- two fiction books and one book of poetry. He had published more than hundred short stories, poems, mini stories and articles on diverse themes including politics and religion in several magazines and periodicals. He is determined to put pen to paper only in English henceforth. He wrote his first poem in 1984 at the time of blue star operation in Punjab and experienced the agonies of curfew following the operation. His first story written in Hindi published in 1986, which published in a small daily later and in 1991 his two books simultaneously, poetry and fiction in Hindi were published by two different publishers. Then all of a sudden, he fell into oblivion and took ten years to show off his next piece. In 2002, he came out with a dazzling fiction book on terrorism in Punjab, depicting the tales of militancy-ridden victims with absorbing intelligence and wonderful imagination. Meanwhile, he wrote a Hindi novel which was serialized in daily published from Rajasthan but he hated to publish it in book form because it did not appeal to himself either. He also wrote one-act plays which published in language department’s monthly magazine and two full dramas which he decided to show off publishers after publishing his novel in English and for the time being he whimsically dumped them into wastebasket and presently they are there gasping its last breaths.

He started ‘A Rebel of Innocence’ five years back. Initially, it was written in a different mode a love story but later he realized that the theme of the story is unable to call standard readership then he, taking advantages of his own RSS experiences, added some more chapters and reshaped the script. This story was originally written in Hindi then the writer himself transcripted it into English and relaxed to find it finished. Presently he is looking for a suitable publisher for his novel- ‘A Rebel of Innocence’ in India and abroad as well.
