Do you have any advice for new authors?
I am a new writer myself. So I have no right to advice them. But I want to tell them that hard work is the key of success. Shortcuts just make you and your career short.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Work as hard as you can. I am the great fan of scientist ‘Sir Thomas Elwa Addition’, he was a man with normal IQ, even then he had invented hundreds of items including bulb. He had done this because of her determination and hard work. Once he had said, ‘Tommorow is my paper but I didn’t care because a sheet of paper can’t decide my future.’

I would like to bring some books written on great personalities espically my role modals or great heroes. I will also take books related to the knowledge of herbs shrubs and various plants and animals. From this type of book I will be able to gain the knowledge about nature.
I will also take some poem books of romantic poets like ‘John Keats’ who was a great nature lover and had wrote the poem ‘A thing of beauty’.
