February 2007. Two years later.
Madhav Kulkarni—as he was known to everyone in his life now—stood on the balcony of his new apartment in Koramangala, a considerably more upscale neighborhood than his initial BTM Layout residence, and allowed himself a moment of satisfaction. Two years of careful living, strategic career moves, and complete reinvention had paid off in ways that sometimes surprised even him.
My goal behind receiving fan support is not just financial — though of course that helps me continue writing without as much worry about practical limitations — but also emotional and creative. Writing can sometimes feel like a lonely pursuit, and fan support, whether it comes in the form of kind words, sharing my work, or even monetary contributions, tells me that what I create resonates with people. That support allows me to grow, to take risks in my writing, and to give more back to the community that believes in me. In simple terms: fan support keeps the cycle alive. I give my stories and my heart through words, and the encouragement I receive in return becomes the fuel that helps me keep going. Ultimately, my goal is not just to ‘receive,’ but to build a relationship. I want readers to feel that they are part of the journey — that when they support me, they aren’t just helping me write another chapter, they’re shaping the existence of the story itself.
