Interview With Author Manikantan Sekhar
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am the author of 3 books – “Breeze Past any Interview” , “The Atheist Handbook – A Search Beyond GOD” & “Learn English Grammar through Harry Potter”. I am data analyst by profession. I can found as “Data Science for the Lazy” on YouTube and Facebook. I am a TEFL certified English Trainer.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
“Learn English Grammar through Harry Potter” is my latest book. I have always prided myself on being able to explain difficult concepts in a simple manner. My experience of learning grammar has always been a drab affair and I am yet to see a Grammar book which one can really classify as ‘interesting’. Hence i decided to take the plunge. ‘Idiot’s guide to Statistics’ by Robert Donnelly was an inspiration in the way he made a dull subject like Statistics a fun and interesting read.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I don’t actually write using pen and paper. I type on my laptop, if you can call that unusual. Since i know, most writers prefer the traditional pen & paper route.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
“Harry Potter” by J.K.Rowling, “Sherlock Holmes Series” by Arthur Conan Doyle, the works of R.k.Narayan and James Allen.
What are you working on now?
I am working on a book on Data Science to help a layman understand the concepts of data science easily.
