Talking about myself literature had always been my area of interest and writing, an irresistible passion. I can’t explain in words the pleasure I derive when I succeed in expressing myself on a blank sheet of paper with the help of words. I believe happiness that lies in expressing yourself can never be substituted by any worldly comforts.

I am thankful to all my readers who had been a source of encouragement for me till date. I really feel contented at heart when someone comes up and says that they could actually connect with the emotions of the protagonist of the stories I write or the thoughts I put forward through my articles.

The journey has been great so far and I look forward to continue in the same fashion.

Getting back to answering of the questions I was asked by Barkha -

Q 1. Why did you start blogging?

As writing is my passion, blogging is the finest choice for an aspiring writer. Since a blog demands regular updation, it helps you be in touch with your work, which in turns manifolds your eloquence. Blogging also helps you reach out to a wide range of people and share your creative ideas with them.

Q2. Who/ What or where does your blogging inspiration comes from?

I believe LIFE itself is one of the biggest inspiration for me. Joys of life are so alluring for me that whenever I happen to come across sorrows, I strive to fetch happiness yet again. It is the happiness of life that inspires me to fight during wretched times. And using this very inspiration I with the help of my anecdotes, wish to preach the world that if it is raining now doesn’t mean the sun won’t come out in the next hour. J

Q 3. Which is your favourite quote?

Well many are there. Tough to choose one. Still I will try to pick one.

“Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.” By Rumi.

Q 4. Pen and Diary or Laptop and fingers?

Pen and Diary while working in the open. Like sitting on a park bench or beach. Laptop and fingers in confined places.

Q 5. Who’s your favourite author?

Author(s) would have been a better ask. Ruskin Bond and Khaled Hosseini

Q 6. Which is your favourite book and why?

THE KITE RUNNER by Khaled Hosseini. Because the book reveals to me a different aspect of humanity. It is not just a read for me. It’s a lesson.

Q 7. What did you want to be when you were a child?

I wanted to be a cricketer. J

Q 8. What makes you laugh out loud?

Umm…mimicry of my college faculties done by a friend of mine.

Q 9. Which cartoon character would you connect yourself with and why?

NODDY. Because he lives a hassle free life. He never fails to smile others irrespective of whatever circumstances he is in. And most importantly, at such a young age, he owns a car, a big house and has many female admirers. J J

Q 10. What is the next item on your wish list any why?

Books by Jhumpa Lahiri and Amitav Ghosh. The reason is clear, I love literature. J
