London to Bollywood: The Journey of a First Time Author!

A few decades ago, and even now to a great extent, telling your parents you want to be a writer was often met with a cautious, if not outright disapproving, “What’s your backup plan?”  According to Deloitte, only 13% of people globally are passionate about their jobs. That quiet disconnect—the tension between what pays the bills and what feeds the soul—is something many of us experience.  It’s also at the heart of Hamish Morjaria’s incredible journey. Hamish excelled in the world of business, but he never let go of his passion for history. Slowly, he nurtured it, transforming that love into an ambitious historical fiction trilogy.  His debut novel, The Curse of Mujiris, (first book of the trilogy) published by Pan Macmillan India, has drawn comparisons to The Da Vinci Code and Indiana Jones—a gripping blend of mystery, adventure, and ancient secrets. With roots in Africa and a life shaped in Britain, what led Hamish to India—and specifically, ancient India—as the focus of his first book?  In this episode of India: A Story in the Making, he shares his journey of identity, belonging, and perseverance, along with invaluable tips for aspiring authors.  And with Bollywood already showing interest in adapting it for the big screen, this is a story that’s only beginning. If you love historical thrillers or dream of writing your own story, get tips on how to deal with rejections, this episode is for you. Tune in to discover how a business leader turned author brought his creative vision to life.
