From the writers' world :Oswald Pereira

“Childhood seems like it is full of roses. But the thorns that prick you as you grow up can hurt a lot” - Oswald Pereira

When we talk of Indian literature and Indian writers, one of the contemporary names that rake up our minds is that of Oswald Pereira. With his two novels “Revenge of the Naked Princess” (Leadstart Publishing) and “The Newsroom Mafia” (Grey Oak Westland), he has already made a mark in this creative market. In his Journalist-turned-novelist journey spanned for over 3 decades, Mr. Pereira has contributed significantly with the Times of India, Financial Express and the Outlook.  In one line- Mr. Pereira has brought his journalism experience on fore with his two books and has presented the bloody side of the conspicuous nexus between the political world, the underworld and the sphere of media. We might have assumed things from outside, he has lived it all inside and that is what gave shape to his two works in the creative space.

However, he has displayed finesse when it comes to development of his story to marketing his work to striking a balance between work and personal life.  In his writings, he has also displayed his philosophical touch as he replicates the words of the Bhagavad Gita through his recommendation, “Work but detach from successes or failures”. It is true and that is ideally the core secret to living a Happy Life.

As a management student at the SMU Cox School of Business, in my exploits, I try to learn more of the management aspect- not just of making a career in the creative space but also the management of life. Let’s hear from this fine gentleman!
