Q: Who do you picture as your reader or target audience?

Not any particular audience. I just wish that anyone who reads my work may feel a little joy and peace.

Q: What inspires you to write, and who or what keeps you going?

There are many factors. First and foremost is my sister—she is a major driving force behind all of this. Then, there is this feeling of contentment and peace whenever I write something. For me, it is like coming up for air when life weighs you down. And finally, in today’s times, when people are more involved in creating videos and reels, I want to keep alive the world of imagination within our minds, which is incomparable with any of the visual aids.

Q: What are your writing goals?

I want to be a full-time writer/poet. I know there is a long way to go and I have to polish my skills a lot before even thinking to go there. So yeah, just hoping in time I will get there.

Q: What are some of your favorites…

• Books/Authors: Dan Brown, Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, Sapiens by Yuval Harari, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, and many English classics

• Food & Drink: Indian cuisine and tea

• Movies/Shows: The Big Bang Theory

• Actor: Shahrukh Khan

Q: What got you into writing?

My sister. She is the one who pushed me into writing. She is a great storyteller. All credit goes to her.

Q: What’s your greatest achievement in writing?

This book :-D

Q: What do you want the human race to stop doing?

Stop discriminating between people on any grounds and give love a chance to grow in that space.
