About Chirag

The Medium world knows me by name, Chirag. I live in India with my loving husband and adorable four-year-old daughter. I enjoy cooking, crafting, and writing. No pets yet, I’m not so fond of them — but my daughter loves cats, and she always asks her dad to bring her one.

How it Started

The writer ghost possessed me only last June of 2019 when it forced me into penning my first short fiction — A Black Cat and the Dark Human Mind. It was published at GiaB. It is very special to me, and I am pleased that Medium curated it. My special thanks to Jay Squires and Victor Sarkin, both of whom I respect a lot and always be grateful for their kindness and support.

The Diabolical Duo

What began as a single isolated 100-word story, ‘The Family Dinner’ was transformed into a series purely because of the motivation of my amazing writer friends of Medium. They asked for more, and I kept writing. And one day, my lovely friend Anu Anniah jokingly said, “This is going like a series. You should name the son and dad as ‘diabolical duo’”. That was the spark. I immediately put it into action. I don’t know how long it will run, perhaps until I’m drained of wit and humor Lol.

Inspiration

I have written horror micro-fiction and flash fiction at Medium because I love horror\mystery\thriller\crime fiction. I’m a great fan of Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Erle Stanley Gardener, and Robin Cook, so I have almost read all their books. I know there are many beautiful writers, but I haven’t read many.

Medium Love

I love this platform and so grateful because I find engaging readers and so kind and supportive writers who uplift each other. I feel lucky that I met such kind and beautiful people here who are the reason I’m surviving in this online world.
