Q1) Every author has an unique start to their journey. Tell us how you started your journey as a writer ?
It is always necessary to express one’s feelings. Its method can be different. Someone gets it out by speaking, someone by writing, someone by singing, someone by dancing. Be it anger, happiness, sadness, I can always write and express my feelings more comfortably. So for almost fifteen years I have been saving my feelings for pen .
Q2) You have curated four amazing solo books .Amongst them which is your personal favourite?
my most favorite book is the vicharo na virah ma . Vicharo na virah ma means a mind without any thoughts. This book changed my life . With the title in longest title in the world, this book has won me many awards. Many things have been seen in the society which, though very small, have an impact in the society. So poetry on all those topics is the essence of this book.
Q3) Tell us about the plot of Success , Money .or dream. A lot of youngsters do have dilemma in picking up between these three options .Was this the reason you chose the topic ?
What is success in life money or dream is the main topic of this book. It is a very interesting book. What I think to do in my life and in that way I am moving forward. But the same thing is done to the character of my book. In our society , our father always has a dream of his own which he has always sacrificed for his family and that dream can be considered true success when his son fulfills it. So you can say my own desire, my future plan which is displayed in this book. I would like to say one thing, the idea in this book was mine but the writer is my friend and good Writer Mr. Anil Patel and I give credit to Mr. Pradyuman Goswami for designing the book.
Q4) Life has a lot of ups and downs and often people experience mental health issues. As a writer do you feel that writing can help people to express and aid them in their problems .
Writing has always been like meditation for me. I take out all the negativity and positivity of my whole day and include it in my book. I believe that when it comes to facing defeat in a person’s life, it has to do with his mental condition. Because he does not know how to pass this phase of life. Then the writting really helps to extract a thing.

Q5) You have been awarded Harward book of Record and The Rising Star Award .Tell us a bit about your experience.
Being honored brings a new zest in life. Harvard book of record was really a surprise for me. Didn’t know a book could bring so much respect. My book titled 2102 words is the largest in the world. When I was contacted in this regard, there was a feeling of gratitude which is really difficult to describe. The rising star award gives an excitement in the name itself. I will always be indebted to all those who have honored me.
Q6) “Social Media had made youth compromise on the habit of reading “. CAN YOU GIVE AN ADVICE TO THE YOUTH ON THIS TOPIC ?
Reading can never go away from people’s lives. Yes, the way of reading has changed. Earlier people used to read from books, today they read from social media. So from my point of view it is never possible in this world to live without reading, that’s why writers like us can convey our ideas to people.
