Writing fiction before writing product specs.
10 + 2 Adds Up to You: What Not to Do at High School — a coming-of-age novel I wrote before my product career.
My first published book, 10 + 2 Adds Up to You: What Not to Do at High School, is a coming-of-age story about Sahil: a quiet tenth-class student who loves books and poetry, learns to back himself, and navigates ambition, friendship and the complications of growing up.
It was published in 2014 and remains a reminder that writing has long been part of how I make sense of people, choices and the stories behind outcomes.
