Hello, Manaswita, how you define yourself to our readers?
Ans: Positivity encompasses me, with a tinge to prioritize myself and evidently to stay away from negative people.
Please share your journey of being a writer? When did you start and choose writing? What’s your inspiration behind it?
Ans: The journey started all of a sudden. Even I myself had no idea that I have this capability to express myself through writing. I am always keen in understanding and discovering the society around us.Love to gaze nature and its teachings. Then one day I just scribbled and posted a quote on instagram , and it started getting likes from unknown followers, even there were many other aspiring writers. So I felt I should start writing and express my views as I strongly believe that, “ Pen is mightier than sword.” Then I opened an account on instagram {manaswita_bhatt_mukhaty}, an account on Quora and YQ. Now I am co-author of more than 20 anthologies, my writings got published in various magazines and many other platforms. Honestly, there is no single thing I an say as my inspiration. The society, nature all these played a lot of role to follow my passion. Now, obviously my son also plays a very important role. My sister never fails to push me infront whenever I just stand still. Actually she is my best critic.
How has writing helped you and how has life changed after being a writer? What is your strength?
Ans: Writing has surely made me an avid reader, explorer and better admirer. I met with my inner-self, started understanding the importance of giving time to ownself.
Life did not change but my vision towards life has changed. I am the same Manaswita, with a different vision to every aspect of life.
What is the best part about being a writer? What was the most challenging task in your writing career? How do you bring out new ideas for your writing?
Ans: I think so, we all the writers enjoy the liberty of expression, self-realization and can pour our heart out in a very lucid way.
I find every topic that I write is a very challenging one. Because any writing, should come out of the heart and reach another heart. When we live in such a diverse country, it becomes easy for me to get new ideas; but the challenge lies in expressing every new idea in a new way.
What do you do apart from writing? How do you manage time for your writing and are you writing something as of now?
Ans: I am a mother, teacher apart from a writer. When there is a will, we surely find a way—that’s it. Whenever I feel I was so busy today that I could not give time for my writing; I just look up towards the successful people and with a spunk I get up…..and just get set go.
At this moment I am busy writing an article for a magazine.
What does success mean to you? What suggestion do you give for aspiring writers?
Ans: For me success means self-satisfaction.
For the aspiring writers I would say,
1) Eat a lot
2) Read a lot
3) Laugh a lot
4) Live your life a lot
5) Be a lot of yourself
6) Thus, gradually you will write a lot.
Is there is any message you want to share with our readers?
