    "A-Y-A-H-I-R. How did you die? And when the glass went around in a more agitated manner, the answer shocked the girls. Tuberculosis. 14 days ago. The shadows were dancing in the background by now. Naldi's parents would be back soon and they would be very annoyed if they knew what the girls had been up to. A chase and lost lot hurried back to their homes as Naomi kept poring over what had been revealed so mysteriously to them."

    "Hello friends. This is Deepti Menon. And I'm so happy to be back once. Well, once again, it took me a little bit of time, but then that's because I think I'm a bit of a fossil as far as all this goes. But now here I am. What first got me interested in writing? Well, I think it was the fact that I was born into a family of readers. My grand parents were readers. My father and mother were readers."

    "But after much research, I did manage to get a story which I thought would go through and which would reach my readers. So I think the basic inspiration came from my publisher and the rest, of course, came from the fact that I had to write a book that was very different from all my earlier books because my first book, Shadow in the mirror, or rather my second book, Shadow in the mirror, was a psychological thriller."

    "You need people to enjoy what you're writing, and you need people to believe in what you're writing. So in order to make this story believable and intriguing, I thought I had to put in a lot of hard work. The funny thing was that despite all that, I think this book did not take as much time as most of my other books had done earlier. I think maybe that was because I lost myself."

    "I think that is the most interesting part of writing. Of course, there have been times when I have sent my manuscript to my publisher and editor, and they have also suggested changes, maybe to the storyline, changes to the style, changes to how the characters react in the story, and then I've had to redo bits again. In fact, shadow in the mirror was actually a blend of two stories which I had written. And finally I brought those stories together, the dance and the trance."

    "You. The one moment that always makes me feel that it has all been worth it is when I write the end. Because it is a culmination of a lot of hard work, a lot of thought, a lot of sleepless nights, and a lot of imagination running riot. So those two words, the end, always make the moment worthwhile. The other moment that makes everything worthwhile is when your editor gets back to you and says, well done. I think this book has come out well."

    "There are so many writers out there with such lovely ideas, and it is a good thing to have a writer circle, people who will tell you very, very frankly what they feel about your writing, what is good about it, what needs a little bit of change amendment. And I think if the criticism is positive, it is always good to take it, because sometimes you are so in love with your own work that you do not see the flaws or the pitfalls."
