Athul DeMarco resides in Bangalore. For now he is a design researcher who is constantly on the move. When he is not travelling, he is seated, in his boxers, writing on his laptop or shouting at the television. He took a break from a cushy job and gave up on a company expense account in 2009. Bored and disillusioned with early morning flights, he remembered what somebody had once mentioned, 'If you like travelling, writing and meeting people and are always trying to figure out what people are thinking, you either become a researcher or you start to live their lives' and so, he now spends his time writing stories instead of making Power Point presentations. He is delusional when it comes to cricket and believes that Ajit Agarkar is the greatest player of all time. He also believes that Sherlock Holmes truly exists. Athul's body clock suggests that he is currently residing in Japan. He is unsure of most things, but firmly believes that he is 1/16th of everything. An.Al - The Origins is his debut novel.
