Riani Saunhil is the pen name of ___________, who hides behind aliases because he is thoroughly frightened of getting canceled and losing the fame and fortune that accrues from selling handfuls of copies of his self-acclaimed novel Ravi's Guide to Being a Cool Indian. This risk aversion probably stems from the fact that he spent many years working as a lawyer. He is currently re-writing one of the other novels he had written in his spare time and writing music, which you can check out at www.buzzthief.com. After 20 memorable years living in Manhattan, he is now happily settled with a beautiful wife and kids in the Bay area, though he still views himself as an outsider wherever he is after an itinerant childhood that included stops in India, New Jersey, Ohio and Singapore.
