Q Say a few words about
your book THE BLUE MOON DAY for the readers.
The Book “The Blue Moon Day” is about how one can make his ordinary life
extraordinary. It aims at inspiring people at every walks of life by personally
relating with the characters in the book and see life in a totally different
perspective albeit beautiful.
Q How you have got the
motivation to write a book?
I have answered this in detail in
the preface of my book which discusses about a tragic accident that made me
reconsider my priorities in my life starting from writing this book.
Q How did you begin writing? Did you intend to become an author, or do
you have a specific reason(s) for writing each book?
Becoming Author was never my
plan. The only thing I believe which inspired me to write was to tell people
something which they fail to see otherwise. I love to write different versions
of life and bring out unique emotions in the readers. Apart from writing I
believe I speak the same way.
Q Tell about your journey
as a writer?
I believe a book is created by
the author’s intellect and wisdom which he had developed over his life and not
just the time he spends in front of his laptop. This way I think ii had a
pretty interesting journey so far.
Q Your book THE BLUE MOON
DAY carries 5 different stories on various backdrop. But the end relates to all
of them. Have you decided the end and start the stories or vice Versa?
Q Who is your favorite
author and what is your favorite book?
I don’t have any particular favouritte in general.
Q What are your hobbies
apart from reading and writing?
I enjoy going on a long drive, trekking and playing sports of
all kinds.
Q You seem to be well
aware of the pulse of the youth and elders in the present
era. These lovely and lively stories
have written from your own experience? Which is the story you
would feel most connected?
It is hard to choose a single
story as my favouritte one however for the sake of the Interview I would like
to go with the last story of my book named “The Heaven”. This perhaps is that
one chapter which is deeper and to some extent divine and can be related by the
people who have this seeking inside them.
Q Have you got writer’s
block? If so how you have managed it?
I never got the writer’s block as I write it in my mind to
start with before getting it on the
pages.
Q Any new project you are
working on currently?
I am presently working on my second book and hope to release
in the current year itself.
Q Tell about the positive
reviews you cherish the most and the negative review if any and the
way you have dealt with it?
Positive reviews were mostly the one who somehow took a kind
a ownership on the book and felt a deep desire to make the book successful and
not to let it disappear amidst the crowd. Getting well wishers like them is the
first and the foremost success of the book.
So far I have not received any harsh reviews which had disturbed
me but yes there were reviews questioning the characterization, pace of the
book and the language used. I could not comment much on it as those were the
point praised for as well by many of the reviewers.
Q Your book carries a lot
of lessons and messages for the youth. The book is very relevant when the
values are deteriorating. Are you satisfied the way book has
come?
A writer can never get satisfied with his book. Even today if
you give me the book, I will end up changing something and feel better about
it. However my real satisfaction came after I started getting the reviews which
made me a contented person.
Q Tell about your experience with your publisher.
My publisher is Invincible Publishers and I had a great
experience working with their dynamic young team who are spirited and focused.
Q What is the advice you
would give to budding writers?
Thank you so much for your forthright answers .I await your next book.In the meanwhile I wish you all the success in all your endeavours.
