Scorpio
I'm a tennis fan. I enjoy listening to Ghazals and Jazz music, and I hate Las Vegas.
I'm a little scared of height, but don't read me wrong. I don't have acrophobia. I enjoy roller-coaster rides and hiking mountains. Another fear I have is based on my own prediction. I believe I'm going to die in a car or flight accident. Before boarding a flight, I call or text my family members and loved ones. I have written emails, which I have scheduled for future delivery. If I die, few people will receive it.
It is yet to come. But if you relish every big or small moment of life, then passing a board exam, getting the first job, getting married to a girl you love, finding your soulmate, and hugging your newborn child are mentioning achievements or important events of your life.
Let me think... I don't know if I can tell it publicly. I will keep it a secret.
Death of my grandfather and a few loved ones with whom I never got a chance to live or know better. There are a few more which I don't want to tell and keep with me.
There are many, but first in the list is my father, Shri Laliteshwar Nath Tiwary.
Jay Gatsby.
One of my friends had introduced me to the world of Oscar Wilde, and I was mesmerized when I read his works. I like grey characters. Situations and circumstances force people to be perceived as a villain. I don't' have any specific choice here. But if I have to name one, I can say Dorian Gray.
I try to read different genres. The list includes Mikhail Bulgakov, Ernest Hemingway, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa, F. Scott Fitzgerald, P G Wodehouse, Jane Austen, Ruskin Bond, and R K Narayan. Another name I can think of is Amitava Kumar. He is from the same city where I grew up. He is a fantastic writer. The way he mixes facts and fiction is hypnotic. The next name is Chetan Bhagat. He was the first Indian author I read. Few so-called literati may hate him, but they cannot ignore him.
It depends. If you ask me after a month, the list will be different. The Master and Margarita, Ulysses, Pride and Prejudice, The Guide, Aapka Bunti (Hindi) are five I can think of now.
No. I have a list of 500 books I want to read before I die. So, I don't have time to reread.
The Lord of the Rings (series), Ford Vs Ferrari, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society, A Night in Paris, Kapoor & Sons.
Rocket-like reading and comprehending speed: 700+ words a minute.
Here's a man who only wished to love.
I would like to go just a decade back in my life to fix a few things. I don't fancy being in a different country or leading a royal life in another period. Furthermore, this question does remind me of the movie, A Midnight in Paris. You should watch it if you are a writer or like writers.
I would love to serve like Goran Ivanišević in Tennis.
The Great Gatsby.
I don't have any such place or timing. I always take notes on my mobile phone.
Music ( ghazals) in the silence.
To be honest...
P G Wodehouse and Indian Hindi comics. Have you heard about Raj, Manoj & Tulsi comics?
Never show your draft work to Grammar Nazis. They discourage you the most.
