Frequently Asked Questions

Is meakalpa.com the only website dedicated to Ashok's work?

That's right! 

I've come across social media accounts and blogs that claim to be "Ashok Banker" or "Ashok K. Banker". Which of them are the real Ashok K. Banker?

None! Ashok has no social media presence, blog or any kind of online presence other than the meakalpa.com website. The other accounts are fake accounts or belong to other people with the same name.

What about author associations, writer groups, forums, bulletin boards, Facebook groups, or other kinds of literary groups?

Ashok is proudly independent, and is not a member of/subscriber to/contributor to/in any way associated with any organization, association, group, forum, of any kind whatsoever. He's just a guy, sitting in a room in front of a blank page, asking it to love him!

So meakalpa.com is the best place to come to for authentic information, news and updates on Ashok and his work?

Yup! It's the only place.

What happened to all Ashok's work on Amazon? All the Kindle editions have disappeared!
