December 2018. Gujarat High Court, Ahmedabad.
Rohith Nambiar sat in the witness box, aware of every eye in the courtroom focused on him. His lawyer, Sunita Reddy, had advised against this testimony—"You've already confessed. Anything you say now can only make things worse"—but he had insisted. If he was going to spend the rest of his life in prison, he wanted it on record why he had done what he did, not as justification but as explanation.
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.
