Neel Preet: What inspired you to write this book? What was the impetus behind this work of yours?
Thakur Aniket Singh: So I have spent my life in many regions of Chhattisgarh and most fascinating places are the rural ones. And the story is loosely based on our folklores so the stories that village elders told me in the cold nights by the fire inspired me to write this story.
Neel Preet: Your book title, ‘NAAGSHISYA – The Prologue’ is definitely a catchy one! So, can you please explain the reasons for going with this book title!
Thakur Aniket Singh: The story revolves around a cult that exorcises ghosts and fights with Asuras who worship snake gods. That’s why I named it Naagshisya.

” A nice warm adventure story about a picnic ”
