Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Civil Engineer, UAV Pilot, Operations Executive and Business Development Executive at Indshine. I am interested in technology, philosophy, psychology and History. I like travelling, meeting to new people and culture. I turned into spirituality, meditation and yoga. I travelled to Yoga City of the World which is Rishikesh and Haridwar in India.
This is my first book which I write by reading dozens of authors.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is Shape Your Thinking which is a research book on various leaders like Bill gates, Warren Buffet about their Style of living and Character building. It all started a year ago when I was looking for source. I found that ebooks are the best source of sharing your knowledge and even you can link with thousands of people and earn royality. Then I started writing daily some lines and it took 6 months to complete my ebook content but it took 6 more months to publish it and making pictures, themes, name of chapters, redisgning and lot of work. The one person who inspired me for everystep is Mahatma Gandhi’s quote which is “Be the change you want to see in this world.”
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Yes, I usually spend time alone and I write my own thoughts in a diary. I don’t restrict my thoughts and keep writing thinking about nature, future and everything that comes. I write all good quotes, shayari, songs, financial and other things. I use to read books and write summary of every chapter which I read in my own way. I daily ask one thing from myself at night in writing that “What I did today which I shouldn’t do”
What authors, or books have influenced you?
The first book that influence me was “How to influence friends” by Dale Carnegie. Then I read Hindi Books and the book that most influenced me was “Hind Swarajya” by Mahatma Gandhi. His other book Sarvodaya and his autobiography. Then I started reading The Intelligent Investor, My Gita, The greatest salesman in the world, “The Millionaire Real Estate Investor and many more.
What are you working on now?
I am working now on blogs and my new book which will be based on history of India. It will be containing mind blowing wars. I am currently researching for that and collecting content. It will be more interesting.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
The best method which I prefer is social media including facebook, instagram and Youtube. The other best method is to reach more sites like awsomegang.com as it might help a lot of readers to reach new books for free.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
As I am also a new author but the advice I want to give is have patience after publishing your book and keep promoting by finding new ways.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I ever heard is of “Perennial Seller”. Don’t make anything for few payoffs. Make it for lifetime like the book of Dale Carnegie which was written in 1936 but it has value even today because it contain the common issue which was in 1936 as well as in 2019 and even after 100 years from now. So, promote it at lowest price as you can. Don’t become an instant earner. Be a long runner and thinker.
What are you reading now?
Now a days I am reading some business development books and real estate investment from the book “The Millionaire Real Estate Investor.”
What’s next for you as a writer?
As a writer, our goal should be to spread knowledge more and more and bring new things and topics which should not only enhance few but should be on a global issue which can be solve by us. It should bring a life in someone and make him/her motivated.
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?
I would not prefer books at that time actually, haha. But if you insist than I would take the Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana and Satyarth Prakash.
