Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am Randhir kaur. I pertain from North East India, Assam, Jorhat. I have gained my education in English Literature and futher resuming my studies in the same. I am the Author of my debut book ‘Joe Blow’ (Amazon and Kindle) and I so again brought the concept of assimilating 100 writers from across the world in the second book ‘Bonmot Yarns’ (Amazon and Kindle) . While the latest one ‘The Chord’. I am teacher by profession and kind of a wanderlust sojourner.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The Chord is the latest book in my list which is available worldwide. Everything that I feel and see around me is the reason which resulted me in typing another script like this. The Chord has been the outcome of mixed emotions I have faced so far.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No, I don’t have any usual habit. I can write in the silent hours and sometimes in the deadliest crowd.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I don’t try to imitate any author or had not tried to pen like any one because I believe in making my own face in front of public. I believe my words are enough provoking than any Romanticism. My essence is lost the moment I try to replicate Wordsworth or Jhumpa Lahiri. So as such no author has influenced me in the writing field and I loathe reading books. I barely do that because I don’t have that patience to sit and pain my eyes for hours.
What are you working on now?
I just have a idea to expose the talent from my place that is Assam (Jorhat) by letting the people to be featured on the social platform . But currently I am not working on to this .
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Instagram, poemhunter and booksie has been very kind to me. The most influential is Instagram application which led me 100 writers in just two days and I had received a couple of kind reviews from people out of the literature field.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Hardships is a part of life. Without it there is no place for you on this earth. Every sad things end up on a screen and so they are called ‘legends’ . Don’t run from risks, face it. Don’t chase your sleepy dreams, snag it. Don’t fall for greatness, fall in love with the failure to know the real meaning of ‘hardship’. I would just say that the authors should write about the truths because words are the silent weapons, a man can face the depression with one positive word they hear. Authors should show the vice and virtue.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
‘Do something that people should remember you by your name so that death be not proud of your living fame’
What are you reading now?
Like said, I barely read. But I love reading classical poets. Nauseated but there lies a beauty in archaic words.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I hope to see myself in the author’s list. Which is hell no possible . Lol.
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?
Books for me has strangled my body. According to me books aren’t what I see for becoming a writer. That hasn’t inspired me at all. I would rather grab a cup of tea, a pen and my diary . I can die with these three things.
