What
is your newest book about? My book is
a trilogy with its first installment Kashmir of My Stories which is getting
published by Partridge, A Penguin India Company. It is a collection of stories
from the valley of Kashmir which is said to be the most beautiful place in the
world, and is situated in Northern India. It will be out in the markets by May
end.
What
inspired you to write it? Since I
was small, I grew up with my grand parents on in the countryside. I loved the
peace and harmony there. Nature was one such aspects that inspired me to write.
The Green trees and the blabbering streams attracted my imagination towards
them. Then in the school, I couldn't relate well to people of my age
and that left me with books. I read the Indian and British literature.
What
is the writing process like for you? Writing
process for me is like freedom. We build our own world and write things which
our imagination and mind finds out, away from the rigid rules of society. I
follow mainly the BIC formula which is Bump in the Chair for writing
can be done only when you sit and let your thoughts come alive on the paper.
What
did you do before you became an author? I
am 15 right now and I completed my High School this year. I live in the Delhi
suburb and in India the education pattern is completely different. Here
children are supposed to only study and go to tuition. Though they have freedom
but limited and they are told to work hard as the world is waiting like a
hungry pack of wolves.
How
does it feel to be a published author? I
really feel very blessed. To write a book is only half a battle done. The other
half is to get it published. And for me, it was more, as I am small and there
is a misconception in people that children lack what the adults have. But I
want to prove that it is not the truth. Children can do many wonders, and the
adults will watch them with awe.
Any
advice for struggling writers? What ever
thought comes to your mind, just pen it down. Don't worry
about grammar don't worry about anything and just write.
Writing is freedom and enjoy that, don't let it go in vain. Don't be
afraid of facing rejections, that is one inevitable truth. But you must have
faith in your work and you will see one day that it will see the light of the
world!
Where
do you see book publishing heading?
The book publishing world is evolving very rapidly. Though I am born in the
modern world, I read in the history texts that it was very difficult earlier
for the writes to get their works published and make them available to
everyone.
But now
with the technology coming in, writers are tasting success and the readers are
enjoying the perks too
