- What motivates you to
write?
To be honest, I express myself easily when I write. Had it
not been for writing, I wouldn't have been able to convey anything right.
Moreover when people read my poems, they come forward expressing how I've
actually put their emotions into words. That serves to be the biggest
motivation.
- How did you feel after
publishing your books?
I just hoped that after putting up my work in the public
domain I would be able to reach more people and that's something I really
wanted.
- What are some of your
favourite novels and authors?
There is no comparison to be honest, but speaking of my
favourite one, I would like to mention one name, Khaled Hosseini. His novels
encapsulate pain to which I easily connect.
- Is there any specific
reason for naming your novel?
I named my first book, "Dazzled by Illusion" as I
felt how everything in this world is an illusion and how we as humans are
dazzled by it. Like the book is a collection of poems which expresses different
heartfelt emotions and these emotions too are a part of that illusion.
- Where do you write from?
Do you go to some specific place, like beachside or the hills?
I do not have any specific place where I go. I just need my
space when I'm writing, it just has to be peaceful. Most of the times I write
at dusk, sometimes while watching the sun set.
- What inspired you to write
the books(in general)? Any tales to tell…
Maybe that's the best way to leave my imprints in the sands
of time. Even in my absence, there will be a part of me still alive. As they
rightly say that a book is the heart and soul of the author.
- What was your biggest
learning experience throughout the writing process?
The writing process has been so beautiful. It has just
become a part of me now. I've learnt to connect with myself and express myself
better.
- Looking back, what did you do right that
helped you break in as a writer?
I did not give in to the cliche ideas that surrounded me, I
was always criticized for not being a very social and expressive person. I
believed we all are different and so I continued being how I was naturally and
that eventually channelized my energy into writing.
- Any best piece of writing
advice that you would like to share with new or struggling writers?
I am myself a new and struggling writer but yes I have an
advice for all those who are out there, just believe in your work.
- Something personal about
you people may be surprised to know?
There's something that would surprise everyone I suppose,
that I haven't been a very good reader when it comes to poems. Apart from the
poems we read at school, I have not read any and both of my books are a
collection of poems.
- Any future books that you
would like to discuss now?
I don't have any specific plans as of now. But yes writing
would definitely continue and so there would be a new book.
- What other profession
excites you the most?
The legal profession is what excites me and that is what I
will soon be entering into. As for now I am a law student and soon to graduate.
- Any special mention about
your reader (be it with reviews/feedback or anything else)
Yes, I can never forget one thing about a reader which is
that she loved every piece of my writing and when I asked her why, she gave a
very beautiful answer. She told me that some of my poems made her smile, some
made her laugh, some brought tears to her eyes and others made her learn
something and that is how she loved each and every piece of my writing.
- Traditional or
Self-Publishing? Why?
I have both of my books self published and from my
experience it gives the freedom to decide every little detail of the book. It's
like you nurture every bit of your creation. Though it takes a lot more efforts
as compared to traditional publishing but yet it is something you would prefer
if you want a wholly personal touch to your work.
- How is the response so far
for the book?
For those who have read my book so far are really touched by
my writings and that is the greatest achievement for my book.
