Publishing Innocent Desire is the greatest achievement I have made so far.

High point of your life?

Being one with my writing and my work.

Low point of your life

When I lose someone too close to me.

Which living person do you most admire?

Abhishek Agarwal & Anil Reddy, both are CEO’s of two great companies and they are my secret mentors. I admire them the most and they will always top this list.

Who is your favorite fictional hero?

I think Harley Quinn from DC comics is one of my favourite fictional hero’s, yes I find her more like a hero than a villan, she’s not into hurting people that much.

Who is your favorite fictional villain?

Favourite villian would obviously be The Joker, he’s so flawed, I love that about him! Flawed villans are the best.

Who are your favorite authors?

Paulo Coelho, J.D Salinger, F.Scott Fitzgerald, Nicholas Sparks, Roald Dahl, Stephen Chbosky etc

What are your 5 favorite books of all time?

This one is particularly hard to pick. In random order – The Alchemist, Perks of Being A Wallflower, The Last Song, Like the Flowing River &The Catcher In The Ryeetc

I can go on re-reading this romantic book called Double Standards, the writing is so addictive.

The Great Gatsby, Om Shanti Om (the only bollywood movie I love), Saving Mr. Banks, Doctor Strange and any Batman movies.

One Superpower you wish you had?

To teleport! I usually love the destination more than the journey!

Your epitaph would read? /Last line in your biography would be?

She found solace in other things than love for a man.

If you had a time machine to take you back to any country and any time period, where would you choose to be for your childhood, adolosent , adult life and silver years?

I wish this was possible! • 1970’s New York, childhood years – This was when pop culture and feminism rights were just coming into perspective and people were joyous yet rebelious. I would have pretty cool parents that I could learn a lot from during this time. • 1960’s Britan, Adolescent years -Music was booming, the war was over and so much freedom and colours everywhere! It was the most relaxed and fun time in human history! • 2000’s Mumbai, Adult years – India was growing up and opportunities to do something different was finally being welcomed, the 2000’s seemed like a great place to fall in love with techonology and have your mark in the world. • 1500’s or 1600’s Dublin, Silver years – It was the time of castles actually being occupied by royal families. Just watching royal families live in castles and be in peace just knowing fairytales exist, would be the perfect way to die.

If you could acquire any talent, what would it be?

To sing like Lady Gaga, she has an amazing voice!

Which book you wish you had written ?

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks – It hits too close to home.

When and where do you write ?

I write post 12am usually in my room with the music on loud speaker.

Silence or music?

MUSIC, MUSIC!

One phrase that you use most often?

If you want something to work out badly, you have to try something you’ve never tired before for a different result.

Do you have a writing ritual / superstition?

I write well only when I am really upset about something.

What’s your guilty reading pleasure?

Romantic novels! Guilty as charged but I Iove them!

Do you have one sentence of advice for new writers?

Don’t you dare give in to what is good writing and what isn’t! Just write what feels right to you and you’ll get there! It’s all about how honest you are to yourself! You are the best judge of your work! Be true to yourself!
