About the author
Bhaskar Deogirikar
The author is a husband, father, grandfather, retired railway employee, and tutor. He loves reading, writing, travelling, and observing the world around him, especially through the dual lenses of curiosity and empathy. Curse of a Good Man is his first work of fiction, and he has previously written a non-fiction book titled ‘A Companion to the English Language’.
When he isn’t serialising fiction, Bhaskar loves to travel, teach, and read, both for himself and to his children and grandchildren.
Why this site exists
A weekly chapter and a family drama
At the insistence of the author’s granddaughter, who manages this website, Curse of a Good Man is built like a TV series. Each week adds a new episode to the saga, complete with cliffhangers and characters who learn things the hard way.
If you’re here for satire, messy relationships, and the kind of humor that shows its teeth, you’re in the right place.
How I write
Serialising on purpose, faceless by choice
Curse of a Good Man will be published in weekly chapters. Expect consistent updates, a clear reading order, additional content, and a comments section open to all dear human readers!
The author also loves remaining hidden because, well, it’s fun, isn’t it?
“If the story makes you laugh and uncomfortable, I have done my job.”

Reader notes
A few things readers tend to say after catching up.
★★★★★
“I came for the satire and stayed for the cliffhangers. The family drama is painfully relatable—in the best way.”

“Dark, sharp, and weirdly heartfelt. Every update feels like opening a message from a friend who shouldn’t be trusted.”
