Author Interview - Shibu Nair of "Why Should I Worry When I Can Face The World"

 1. What motivates you to write?

 Inspired by my fellow writers whose comforting and reassuring words have brought peace to my depressed mind. I wanted to do the same for others who live in the scary world of anxiety, worry, and overthinking.

 

2.   How did you feel after publishing your books?

4.   Is there a specific reason for naming your book?

Most of us run away from problems in our life without being aware of the fact that we have the power to face and overcome the setbacks in life. When we are confident that we can face the world and its numerous twists and turns then why should we worry ?


5.   What inspired you to write the books(in general)? Any tales to tell…

The dark and depressive world I was in after my son’s untimely death and my successful battle to come out of it. Felt sharing my journey with people who suffer from similar painful experiences can bring happiness and peace back to their depressing lives.

The more simple and straight from your heart you communicate with your readers, the easier they understand and appreciate your thoughts.

I spoke from my heart with an immense desire to help my readers walk through the path of happiness and peace by giving them anecdotes they can easily relate to.

Talk to your readers through your writing in a way they can relate to what you are talking about and take away some positives which can make their lives better and happier.



9.   Something personal about you people may be surprised to know?

I have been teaching literature for the last 27 years and I love doing it for many more years to come.

 

10.   Any future books that you would like to discuss now?

My next book will be a collection of poems and a series of real-life inspirational journeys of some extraordinary students I was fortunate to teach.

 

11. What other profession excites you the most? 

The teaching of course.

 

12. Any special mention about your reader (be it with reviews/feedback or anything else)

One person who was suffering from severe anxiety and depression told me that the book has been a lifeline to her. She sincerely follows the suggestions and tasks given in the book and now is back to work after two years.

13. Do you write the story at a stretch or do you take your time to complete it? 


If you take a longer time, wouldn’t you be forgetting the story? How do you tackle it?

I take a long time mostly because of the busy lecture schedule I have for students as well as government departments. Since the book is basically about my own experiences, it was easy for me to recollect.

 


14. Traditional or Self-Publishing? Why?


Since it’s my first book, I took the help of a publisher and I was fortunate to have Walnut publications to help me in the process.

 

15. How is the response so far for the book?

Very humbling.Excellent sales and reviews. Most important the book is helping many depressed souls to walk back towards the happiness and peace they once had in abundance.

If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad?
