Kolkata, June 18: Author Ravinder Singh's latest book, 'The Belated Bachelor Party' was recently launched in Kolkata at the South City Mall outlet of bookstore chain Starmark in association with the book's publisher, HarperCollins India.

Ravinder Singh is the bestselling author of six novels and two crowd –sourced anthologies.

His books have sold over three million copies to date.

After having spent most of his life in Burla, a small town in Western Odisha, Singh is currently based in New Delhi.

He has an MBA from the Indian School Of  Business.

His eight year long IT career started with Infosys and ended in Microsoft, where he worked as a senior programme manager before deciding to pursue writing full-time.

Singh has also founded and runs a publishing venture called Black Ink, where he publishes and mentors debut authors.

"A perfect story builds a strong relationship between readers and the author. I have written this book to recall our belated bachelor party memories,” said Singh.

It’s been twelve years since Happy (Harprit), MP (Manprit), Raamji (Amardip), and Ravi (Ravinder) graduated.

Well into their married lives, they realize that none of them had a bachelor party before their weddings.

But it’s never too late to set things right.

They go about planning their belated bachelor party - a Euro trip which, well, ends up becoming a trip of a lifetime.

It’s middle of the night. The four friends wait to be strip-searched by the border police.

They are stuck in the no-man’s land between Croatia and Slovenia, without valid visas but with banned party drugs and rifle cartridge…welcome to one hell of a reunion!

According to Ravinder Singh, he was not very keen about a regular job.

He said, "Actually I wanted to write books and novels. Which was my passion. I loves to write books, novels and diaries in my free times . My main focus is to describe and contribute some incidents, ideas, thoughts, and scenario through writing."

At the interactive session in Starmark, Singh said he is planning to write stories based on gay love.

A book is a useful medium for communicating with people, believes Singh.
