Devendra Mehra spends his days in the world of investment and corporate banking — profit and loss statements, expense sheets, and the kind of risk controls that shows up more often in his fiction than his job description would suggest. Off the clock, his mind wanders somewhere stranger: gods, ghosts, aliens, mythology, and the unanswered edges of science. A cricket fan and a philosopher at heart, he writes quietly, exploring the line where belief becomes real enough to change what people do.
