Comments: V, I have to say, out of all the many web sites that I have reviewed, I have enjoyed yours the most. Your poems were beautiful. Your short stories were indeed a piece of art. I just thought I was a writer. Maybe a good story teller, but I have a long way to go. I have a problem of telling and not showing enough. Obviously you don't! Great work!

Author Interview
Author: V Bright Saigal 25th Sept.2007
Journalist: Q: Mr. V bright could you tell the audience, what exactly provoked you to write, a politically sensitive novel like " Legacy Of Sin and the lords of Raisina Hill" that itself when India-America Nuclear real is in a turmoil?
V bright: Well, My concern is always the plight of general public. When anything happens to them I weep. You can see all my poems and short stories are emotional and something related to discrimination. According to me the terrorism and other restlessness in this world today have a relation to either of two key issues:
Injustice
Inequality.
J: What is the theme of your novel?
V bright: Injustice. A billion innocents 's plight is under the turmoil. Those who are not educated, and they are unable to protest. The Ruling class and the educated unite and exploit the poor and illiterate.
J: What about your personal life?
V Bright: I had a girl friend, Neha. I don't know what happened, one fine morning we had a fight. You can say, a tiff. She thought, I wouldn't accept her after that. She married to someone else.Still, I don't know waht happend.I just carry on...nothing else.
J: Are you writing some more novels?
V bright: Yes. "Behind the Full Moon"- novel finished. And " Conscript Memorial"-another novel drafting completed. At present, I am working on new novel "Gallop of Time".
J: When will you launch " Legacy of Din and the lords of Raisina Hills"?
V Bright: Soon.
J: Thank you Mr. V bright for this interview. I will interview you again when your novel is launched.
V Bright: Thank you.
V. Bright,
Your poems were selected by the anthology editor, Dr. Zachary Oliver . Zach is an accomplished poet and selected poems for their clarity and poignancy. I was pleased to hear from him that several of your poems were selected! Right now, we're in the process of laying up the anthology, after which we will be sending out author galley proofs for you to go over, markup and sign. I'll let you know more as things proceed toward an anticipated December 2010 release date (anticipated release dates can be very fluid), but in the meantime, my personal congratulations!
Dan
