Q1) Tell us about how you stepped into the world of writing.
Ans : I started writing at a very young age, As a child, I often came up with random stories and poems At the age of eight I won first place in a poetry contest at school, where I competed against recitations of famous poets, from that moment I knew that God has blessed me with a gift of writing poetry and I always embraced it, growing up writing was my hobby and solace I had my blog page where I shared my writings and during the lockdown when I had a lot of time I came up with my debut poetry book ” oasis of poetry ” which was not only a game changer but also a gateway to opportunities that have led me to be a part of the writing world
Q2) “Elephants in the room” is one of your most beautiful creation of yours. Tell us about the plot of it. How does it makes you feel, when readers appreciate your writeup.
Ans : “Elephants in the room” is close to my heart, which is a beautiful narration of free verse poems about self-analysis, and about how we miss out on beautiful things in life, such as the talents God has blessed us with while focusing on expectations, stereotypes and unnecessary social constructs that we have come up with as a society, it is a deep book with so many beautiful messages
The response that I have got from my readers makes me feel happy and overjoyed
Lines such as
” Each sentence in poems has a purpose. The purpose is to bring a change in readers as well as the world, to take them into higher consciousness.”
From the readers, not only makes me happy but gives me a sense of satisfaction as a writer
Q3)You are a Vajra book of records holder – co-author of the book ” thousand beginnings” which is a collection of short stories that start and end with the word beginning. Tell us about the experience and your writing journey so far.
Ans : Being recognized by Vajra book of records for the book ” thousand beginnings ” was my first experience of getting into a record book. I was extremely happy and surprised.
Talking about my writing journey, after my debut book ” Oasis of poetry “, I co-authored 50+ anthologies in languages English, Tamil , Hindi, and Kannada, I wrote a very unique book called a silent war cry which is a 3000-word poetry book which is recognized by OMG book of records and hope international world record and being an impromptu poet I took up a poetry challenge where my social media followers would shoot up any topic or prompt for me to write a poem on within a stipulated time as a result of this huge challenge I was able to come up with three other solo books, pearls, ca camouflaged beauty and AFI and very soon I authored ” elephants in the room ” which is an eye-opening poetry book, I also received many awards and recognition such as” youth icon: author ” by spectrum awards and Asias influential woman award by AIWA
Q4) Do you feel being an author, is a good career option? What would be your guidance to someone ,who wants to become a writer.
Ans : I believe that every one of us is unique and has different talents and desires accordingly
And I became an author because of my passion towards writing and it always gave me a sense of satisfaction and happiness, I always have a burning desire to share my thoughts with the world and taking up writing as my career and becoming an author has helped me achieve a platform where I can share my thoughts with the world in the form of beautiful writings and I think this is the best step I have ever taken and I’m so grateful for my journey as an author this far
When someone has a passion for writing and wants to become an author, I would say go for it, and take that step into the deep, you will receive criticism, discouragement and so many things that might scare you, writing in a public platform is not easy but all I have to say is if you have the desire to write and share your writings to the world, then – Start somewhere, you need to start somewhere, now is a good time, don wait for opportunities to come your way, start somewhere even it means to start small, and be consistent, it is easy to go on when you receive applause but not easy when it fades away but being consistent through all times is the key
Never lose your confidence, you are our greatest supporter, don’t bury that talent God has given you, Go ahead and take that step
Q5)Give us one quote ,that you want to share with the readers.
Ans : ” Growth doesn’t happen overnight, it takes consistency and immense patience ”
This a quote that I wrote to remind myself to be patient when I see no growth from the seed I sowed, and to keep working consistently
Q6) You also like to review books. Tell us about one
