While reading many a times we have become so entangled with the characters and the plots in those that the line between imagination and reality has blurred quite often. Be it chasing Alice down the rabbit hole or following Harry Potter\u2019s adventures. We have often wondered what inspires those writers to conjure such magic through their words. <br>S Venkatesh (Venky) is one author for whom travel is an integral part in writing. He is someone who is inspired by travel,&nbsp; someone who travels to research and quite often writes while traveling.<br>His two books KaalKoot and the latest one AgniBaan are a testament of that.<br>An investment banker, an IIT-IIM alumnus he is your atypical author who loves to travel and write and vice-versa \ud83d\ude42<br>In this episode titled \u201cTravel Inspired Writing with S Venkatesh\u201d of the show <strong>Travel Conversations<\/strong> (TC) on The Rustik Travel Podcast we talk to him about his love for traveling and writing and how both are interlinked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a
