  1. And now as you have entered this world, how do you feel being a member of it?


It’s always a privilege to be known as Author, writer. A sense of achievement, Pleasure comes when people read your thought and appreciate it.

 

  1. What made you think that your book is different from others? What makes your book special that reader should pick it?
    I don’t claim my work to be different from other. It’s a simple story written straight from the heart. The simplicity of the book makes it different from the others. It’s a story of an ordinary boy and girl to whom every reader would connect to.


 

  1. While writing this book what were your expectations from the book? Were you sure that this book could give wings to your writing career?


I expected the book to do good as I genuinely thought that the story would connect with the reader. It’s not a fairytale romance, but a story of self-belief and determination. Now, the book is doing exceptionally well and is always ranked amongst best sellers, so, I feel proud and responsible at the same time.



  1. What do you think of writing as a career? What importance does literature plays in your life?


I have always been an avid reader and the reading genes has been descended in me from my mother. Taking writing as a career is a giant step. However, it’s a dream at the same time. Let’s see what time has to tell.



 

  1. What according to you is the best way to connect to the readers? Words shooting from heart, an extraordinary story or something else?


You can connect with the readers only if they feel the story is connected to them. If the writer is able to weave a scene in reader’s mind through his words, he is successful in delivering a perfect tale.

 

  1. Now as your debut book arrives in the market, what do you expect from your readers?


The book is already in market and doing well. Hope the readers keep showering their love and I am able to live upto their expectations in my upcoming books.



 

  1. When you were in the initial phase of the writing journey, what obstacles you faced as a debutant author?


No-one gives a damn to the debutant writer, even if his story is out of this world. Publishing your work is a long, lengthy and painful process. I am happy that my book has seen a light in spite of all the obstacles.



9.What do you usually prefer-pen, typewriter or computer?

I prefer computer as I am computer savvy and have decent speed of typing.

 

10.What are the core qualities an author must possess?

The word should spell magic, command over language, good vocabulary, pace of the story, grip on plot, characterization and there are many more.

 

11.Every journey teaches us a lesson. What are the lessons you’ve learnt while penning your books?

My book was initially just a story. One day I started to write it and the thoughts kept on flowing and shaped into a book. I wish to tell you that this is my first writing work. I have never written a story or prose before but always wanted to write one.

 

12.Tell us about your latest book.

It’s a simple love story about a boy who falls in love with a girl and how their journey proceeds with time and what obstacle they have to face in their journey. Many people have asked why is three dots after title “Falling In Love”. The dots represent the journey of their love. You will find lots of positivity in the book and will definitely relate to the story.

 

13.Does anyone else write in your family or anyone who loves books?

I’m four brothers and all are book worms. My elder brother is a writer too and his stories have been published in many leading magazines.

 

14.Tell us about the best compliment you’ve ever received and the criticism given to you as an author.

Readers have been showering all kinds of compliments to me for my story. The list is too huge and I’m indebted to them. Criticisms were mainly related to proof reading and grammatical errors which will be corrected in next edition.

 

15.How much your stories are influenced from real-life stories?

Almost all stories are influenced from real-life incidences and my stories are no different.

 

16.These days every author wants to come in the list of ‘Best-selling Authors’? What do you think about it?

It’s a wish every author aspire and there is nothing wrong in that. After all everyone wants name, fame and money and wants to be known for his work.

 

17.Tell us something about your five year goal. Where do you see yourself as a writer in five years?

I wish to release at least one book per year. Let’s see how far I achieve. I have other commitments to fulfill as well.

 

18.If given an opportunity, would you like to be a full-time writer?

Oh yes! With open wings!!

 

19.How much time do you take to complete a novel? Is ‘patience’ the keyword to become a successful author?

My first novel took six months for writing alone and few months for research. I do a full time job as well so it’s difficult to take out time, but still I manage for my passion.

 

20.What is the motive of your writing? Does your work fall under some special category?

My motive for writing is pure entertainment and nothing else. Currently I’m writing Romance genre novels but I want to be versatile. In coming years I will give shots to other genres like adventure, thriller, fantasy, and anthology and of course a murder mystery. Let’s see what all I do.

 

21.Last, but most important question readers would want to know- Are you working on another book? If yes, how different is this from your last work?

 I cannot reveal much but it will be different from the first one and will have a female lead and would cover a social issue which our society is facing every now and then. I also want to tell that I’m not a preacher. I write stories only to entertain my readers and try to make them aware about my thought through words.
