Look who is writing books on Mahabharatha, vedic wisdom and self improvement!

Spirit Set Free
A convict sentenced to life imprisonment is causing a stir in Tamil publishing circles. Dr L. Prakash, an orthopaedic surgeon sentenced for, among other counts, Internet pornography, has spent the last seven years in prison churning out 80 books on every subject under the earth— thrillers, prison diaries, Vedic wisdom, the Mahabharata, short stories, self-improvement... His publisher claims his prison diary alone—Other Side of the Prison Bars—has sold 1.4 lakh copies in Tamil translation. But the biggest triumph for the doctor: his publisher claims Playboy has accepted his short story!

CHENNAI: Serving a life term for dabbling in the business of erotica, orthopaedic surgeon Dr L Prakash is busy churning out books on various subjects including a four-volume book on Mahabharata in his prison cell.
Convicted for providing pornographic pictures to websites, the 52-year-old doctor reportedly is busy writing on subjects ranging from science, adventure and his pet subject -- erotica.
Prakash was arrested in December 2001 following a complaint from a youth that he was forced to commit sexual acts with women, which were filmed and later posted on websites hosted by the doctor. He was sentenced in February this year.
G Asokan of Banana Books said that he has already published four books of Prakash -- Glimpses of Vedic Wisdom , Swiss Chocolates , Maybach Maiden , and Tangled Web Beats .
Asokan came to know of Prakash through an advocate S Namonarayanan who was imprisoned in the same jail for three days for unlawful assembly where he read Prakash's books and brought this to the notice of the publishers.
Following this the publishers had a brief meeting with Prakash when he was brought to court last June and clinched the deal.
"We will bring out his six lakh worded Mahabharata in four volumes in October and plan to publish more," he said.
Namonarayanan reportedly told Asokan that the doctor was involved in writing for hours. Recently, the Madras High Court allowed the doctor to have a personal computer.

What is your day like in prison?
I get up at 08.15, tea toilet etc. Start writing at 8.30 and keep on till 2.30. Lunch at 2.30 p.m. Siesta between 3.00 to 5.00 p.m. Evening walk between 5.00 p.m., and 6.00 p.m. Writing begins at 6.30 p.m., and goes on until 2.00 a.m. Dinner at 2.00 a.m. Night sleep 2.15 a.m., to 8.15 a.m. I have followed the same routine for the past seven years.
Any offers to make my books into movies?
As a matter of fact, yes! Three Kollywood producers approached me. Unfortunately I was not impressed by their IQ. One even threatened to plagiarize my work and I asked him to go ahead. It is not just a matter of money! The movie should do justice to the original!
If I get an intelligent offer (directors with at least two times George Bush’s IQ,) I will be extremely happy!
Any prison brawls that I have got into?
Interestingly I have been involved in three! Each was a certain adrenaline surging occasion! Too juicy to be spilt in a magazine interview! You will have to read my book Behind the Bars; now in its third draft and in the pipeline for future publication. If you are interested, I can instruct the publisher to send you a word file of the same once the corrections are over!
Writing pattern
I usually write three books at a time, a fiction, a non-fiction and a short story collection. Three diverse things that keeps the brain energized and on its stretched sulci and gyri!
Highest output has been twelve thousand words in a day.
Lowest output about three thousand words per day.
All writing is in longhand using A4 registers.
Total output in last seven years is a little over twelve million words. Total books-volumes now stand at 104.
To give you a small example, Maybach Maiden, the book you probably have with you, was written in 21 days. The final book represents about 90% of my first draft.
Books include Mahabharatha (4 volumes), Ramayana (8volumes), Prisoners of time (sensuous adventure 4 volumes 600,000 words) Godsister (crime mega epic six volumes 700,000 words, 243 short stories, 45 novels, nonfiction (14 titles: self help, art of living, Vedic, Puranic, jokes, naughty narrations etc). Graphic novels (3 done now on my fourth).Total volumes about a 104 to date!
Inspirations
Prison is the best factory to generate stories both long and short. The two thousand prisoners with whom I interact, treat, and spend time with, provide numerous wonderful stories.
I have been a voracious reader in my past and still am, reading about 100 fiction and non-fiction titles in a year!
My past life and the present itself is an adventurous roller coaster ride providing plenty of first hand experiences, more than half of which remain to be chronicled!
Have I been to all places I write about?
A definite yes! I don’t write about places I have not personally experienced or about people of the type I have not closely or personally interacted with. I have been an adventurous traveler in my past life and have traveled extensively thought India and almost around the world many times both as an adventurous tourist and as a surgeon. Have demonstrated my surgical methods and performed operations in about 40 centers in India and 38 internationally!
Research is pretty difficult in prison, however I have found out ways. My sister is net savvy. My publisher has appointed a team now to do my searches and research. All data is printed out and lands at the prison, where I sift carefully to extract what I desire!

which do you think is more amazing, being made to serve a life term for dabbling in the business of erotica, or turning into a prolific author, while serving a life term?Rishi wrote:...Serving a life term for dabbling in the business of erotica...

I was more intrigued about all his readers/fans..which includes Dr.Mayilvahanan Natarajan. In a world..where people/friends will flee when people are in trouble! Got to give it to MV!
Quite a story..Ortho Surgeon with a Pediatrician wife..seems he was not hiding his lifestyle-interests..10 years for Internet porn (coercion)..a Banana Company which publishes his books..Playboy getting involved.. and some think sexual "repression" leads to sexual issues/problems..and freely available sex means..contentment, no problems, obsessions, no crimes!

I am amazed at the chutzpah the man has to write books on self improvement and vedic wisdom etc. when he himself is sitting in jail for doing unspeakable things. I think he was a hypocrite.
What I heard was that he initially took pictures of his female patients after giving them sedatives. His brother in California ran a website called tamisexdotcom and suggested to the doctor that he could do videos.

Did Rashmunullah really fail his in his PhD? I understood that clear possibility from his past descriptions 3 years ago - not that there is anything wrong with that.
Any confirmation and proof?
