As the solo author of “Jasmine of December,” she explores less-travelled roads, embodying her love for experimentation and self-discovery.

Her passion lies in unravelling critical approvals of doubtful elementaries, reflecting her commitment to authenticity and resilience in the literary world.

Interview Questions:
1. Q: Why do you believe writing is often relegated to the status of a hobby rather than a serious profession?


Ans- World is the melting pot of golden honey. The concept of creating a new world forgets the dynamics of the Writing World. Well, while there is always a saltiness for a Writer. Have you ever experienced briskness,”you can’t keep a roof over your head by being a Writer”. Such groups of perceptions are always there to flair you up. Perceptions are such minute units to make a composure of society. And if you start believing in such perceptions you can’t be enjoying a road less travelled by.
The emphasis of writing shouldn’t be given leverage as a side hustle thing. Writers can change the frequencies of stars. See Jk Rowling, Nazwa Zebian, Nikita Gill, Lang leav.

The interesting fact is that least developed countries think English is a very easy language. Such adages had never taken a serious toll in working out more for English Literature. The concept of taking an easy language to pass the Master grades always hinged me. Did they really somersault into the below of the iceberg? These bubbles of Frankenstein concepts are always taken as a never mind thing, but aren’t they deconstructing the resources of Writing, you can pine it on.

2. Q: In your experience, why is there a perception that poetry doesn’t lead to substantial earnings compared to other forms of writing?
Ans: Thinking makes a society. As I already said we have always neutralised the concept that English is a very easy language, fun as domino.Take a scroll of ancient tinsel history, kings lauded poets and give them some coins for a ginger life. Finish anything more, they were labelled as Common ENTERTAINERS.
At that time Tenali Raman or Mirza Ghalib were taken seriously?We are still chewing the same dead fish. The concept of Writer as an unemployed, cathartic jester pro entertainer tag is still struggling to get its identity. Whereas, the concept of earning bundles is still a Pinocchio concept, while the reality is thawing you.
When we are still mangling the past bones,past hashtags and taking the same dead horse on and on, things are colliding. I accept a few transitions are happening for English Literature but it is still fuming a small flicker of blue flame.

3. Q: You mentioned writings being labelled as a criterion of demotivation. How do you navigate and overcome such challenges in your journey?


Ans:- Are there any flexibilities? How many writers are there in each window throwing their masterpieces near the alleyways? Just to make a reader satisfied? If your writing is a porridge pot full of vocabularies will that be framed or thrown? How many writers just sweat in, letting their parents know their creative water?
Are the writers and their writings promoted even by their colleagues? Competitions are making us wet rats and theories of compiling wet rats are creating a mansion of skyscrapers.
How many writers are healed by you? Did you ever stop seeing the mistakes of any writers?
Have you ever said you did well, you will create a notch? No, first we will point out the grammatical lapses,spellings and after that the alpha beta of concepts, we create extra superlatives to satiate our own superiorities. We love slapping,in the name of salving.
Well I love rejection energies. Before I used to visit the guilty tripland blaming myself for fiascos. Am I really deserving? Is it a writer thing?
But now, I have transpired myself, that whatever seed I fruit into the land of literature, it will blossom with its muskiness. My uncanny valley of evolving. I was given a caution for being a Bombastic wordsmith. I embrace my uniqueness. I was told Writers cannot even buy water for rice, but it’s chafing my Wheat of passion. Writing is a Tapasya for me. If the latitude of imagination, and the push of the sun was not there, my earth of rotation would have collided. But every collision is itself an evolution.

4. Q: Can you share a glimpse into the inspiration behind your book “Jasmine of December” and its significance to you?

Ans- This book is a pure flowery branch rooted by my Late Mother Namrata Kayastha. She is a soul-scientist of this soil to flower Jasmine.
Well December is said as the month of death.
In my case I was Jasmine who was born in the death of the city. Jasmine started giving her fragrance in the darkest amber. To navigate the inner desert and palettes in between thorns was definitely an award-winning memory.

There was a short poem written three years ago for Jasmine of December.
Why are human spectacles made?
To veil the inner tears of eyes,
Like lovers who were separated in the name of borderside!

The significance of this book is that you can see the igniting side of death as a miraculous fiesta of light, you will explore the possibilities of branches of flowery vocabularies, threading the cosmos of stories. Somewhere I capture the process of collapsing to the compiling journey of a Cancer sufferer mother to her enlightened magma. Well lacuna’s are light. Jasmine can whiten in the snowball. She rises in every vintage.

And much more.

5. Q: As someone aspiring to be a top-notch writer and motivational speaker, how do you balance these dual roles, and what lessons have you learned along the way?

Ans-
Well balancing can be easy when you feel the vitality in you. Your splashes of creative lighthouse can determine to walk into the mountains of determination therefore.

Well I am happy to be an aged wine. Happiness in my rough meadows, giving a pragmatic touch of solutions in my painful morrows. This is a deep lesson I learn through.

Nothing is impossible if you accept the jaws of seasons. I meant to say, enjoy the juices of drawbacks. Season it well. and come out with the best condominiums.Vision your euphoria.

There are times where your inner elementaries will create a documentation of you can’t theories. Ignore it. Flog your sluggishness and do small tortoise trails. Don’t kiss frog prince theories. Hardwork and perseverance are your inner jewels.

Do me time. Flex spending the best days. Recharge your aura. Feel the chakras within. Passionate people can see art in nature. Feel the artist Vincent Van Gogh in you. Paint the walls through your crisp moonlight.

6. Q: How do your hobbies of cooking and photography influence or intertwine with your writing process and creativity?
Ans- Writing, Photography, and Cooking are the collages of art. They all need the sakuras of lessons to know how to paint with the bubbles?
Reading, practising and visualising the broth of ideas and contemplating it over again and again. However, making sure to see all the elements to beautify the palettes. And finally a touch up for different aggrandisement.
For instance, When I cook I see metaphors of ideas rustling like all those colourful leaves, and swaying seas. While I am doing photography I see the aesthetics of plant culinaries and uniqueness of each.
For this it requires a signature hardcore discipline, bone breaking amount of efforts and never breaking timeliness.

Observe the numero uno and coral of sunset in each penetrating darkness.
And yes sharpen your axes.
