Interview

Being an author is an uphill task. What is the most tiresome and complex task you went through while publishing for the first time? 

There are many such, but the most complex one was the editing part. I still remember I was having my exams and there was almost no time for me to edit but still somehow I managed.

What kept you going during that point of time? 

My ‘WILL POWER’. It was dream for me to smell the printed pages of my book.

Is there any kind of writing which you despise?

Nope, there is no such genre that I hate. Being an author I can feel an author’s dedication and hard work. I respect that.

When did you decide that you want to write? One of the first novels that you read which inspired you to write ? 

I love imagination. When I was child I used to hear fairy tales from my grandparents and that was the inspiration. I too wanted to be a ‘STORYTELLER’. But in due course of time everything disappeared. But when destiny played a cruel role, an incident which I had never expected finally I decided to pen down my story.

And yeah the first novel I read was CB’s Five Point Someone. I loved the book very much as being an engineering student I can relate to it.

When did the story weave itself in your mind? Any specific incidents? 

Well as I said I love imagination but was unable to narrate it the way I wanted and suddenly thst incident took place. 4^th January, 2016, and I started the first page of my debut novel from that incident. People who had read my book can relate to it.

Many people think that Life of Authors is exciting and rewarding (after the release of Movie Baghban). What are your views ? 

Well its all upto you whether you want your life to be exciting, refreshing or inspiring. But yup authors deserve more respect from the society.

What is the most content feeling you have ever felt and when? 

When I smell the printed pages of my book for the first time. It was a heavenly feeling.

Any word of advice for authors and bibliophiles out there?

“Let your ‘ACTION’ make you feel ‘ALIVE’ and your ‘WORDS’ make you ‘IMMORTAL’.”Keep reading…

I would like you to share something about yourself with the readers. Something that does not go in the ‘about the author’ section, something that is the real you.

I’m a great fan of ‘SANDEEP MAHESWARI’.

What’s more important to you as an author, sales or satisfaction?

Both, specially an honest review which I love the most to get from a reader.

Thank you for sharing your valuable time with us and our readers. We hope your book “You made me what I am” touches the strings well with the readers.
