Rupa Krishnan is educated and works in India. Now she freelances as a management consultant and writes the rest of the time. Something Wicked This Way Comes is set on the Nilangini Express. A sense of impending doom underline the fragility of the nascent friendship between Kajal who ‘really doesn’t care much’ at first before nightmares of ‘bloated death’ warn her that the journey might end in misfortune, and Sarat, who is chafing under the rule of his tyrannical and ambitious father. rupakrishnan@yahoo.com
