I am an entrepreneur in education field. I like reading, writing, watching movies and TV series. I also like swimming, chess, and carom. My favorite male actor is Akshay Kumar and my favorite female actor is Genelia D’souza and Alia Bhatt.
I Don’t Need Reasons. I Need You! is my first novel. I am very excited and nervous both!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I Don’t Need Reasons. I Need You! is my latest and the first novel I have written.
I was interested in reading and writing since I was 13 years old. But it was always a hobby. I didn’t have a confidence that someone could actually pay to read my content. But it was always in my heart to try it once. So finally, I decided to tap into my creative potential as an author and see if my writing is worth reading or not.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t know if it is unusual habit or not. But I write the first draft of my novel in my mobile whenever I feel like to write it. It could be at work, before sleeping, while sitting idle. Anytime, anywhere. And, I don’t write much. I write a 500 or something words and stop. Once the first draft is completed in my mobile. I transfer that file into my laptop and start editing it. Again, I don’t edit my novel for more than an hour in one day.
Also, I focus more on conversation and expression, than narration.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Chetan Bhagat have influenced me the most. I have read all of his romantic fiction novels and loved most of them.
What are you working on now?
Right now I am editing my second novel, which is a love story of 3 boys falling in love with the same girl. The novel is about a very strong female character and how her life changes because of these three guys.
I am also writing one more novel, which is again a romantic fiction about how a guy and a girl meet in covid 19 pandemic and what happens after that.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I am a newbie writer. I have published my novel, just 15 days ago. So right now, it is too early for me to answer this question.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
I myself am a new author!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
There should be 3 stages in every story.
1. beginning
2. middle
3. twist
What are you reading now?
I have just finished, A Girl in Room 105 by Chetan Bhagat. And right now, I am waiting for the author copy of my novel. I am dying to touch it and read it again!
What’s next for you as a writer?
My next novel. I was writing as a hobby since a very long time. Just never thought about publishing my work. So now, if my first novel is loved by people then I have enough stories in my mind that I will at least be able to publish 15 novels in next three years!
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
It is hard to decide because there are so many books. But let’s say, The Alchemist, Game of Thrones series, and Five point someone.
