"Usually, I try to write about subjects which I am familiar with since I can depict the finer nuances of the characters as well as realistic descriptions of the settings. So, what better than to write humour fiction about Ludhiana, my hometown. The love and affection of the readers have kept me motivated to continue with my writing journey, which is not without bumps," explained Dr Jas Kohli.

This is a fiction book that is close to reality, and the readers may picture some familiar people when they get to know about the characters.
