My greatest fear is that I might lose my ability to express myself someday. And then, I won't be able to write.
I think this book is my greatest achievement till now. In my wish list, this story was on top. so when I see this in my hand It feels like a life time achievement award.
Coming from a background where women are not allowed to work, My high point was when I got my first job. It's been 13 years since I am working in this IT industry but the happiness and freedom I felt that day is still incomparable to any other thing. So when my IT journey started, it was my high point.
"There was a point where I was struggling with my desire to study further but due to some circumstances, I could not pursue it. All of sudden life felt meaningless and purposeless. That was the time when I was fighting with the mindsets of two different generations and I almost gave up on my dreams of being financially independent. That was low time and it took me a lot of time to gather myself and start all over again. "
I admire Sadhguru and Shri Narendra Singh Modi. Sadhguru for his wisdom and Modi ji for his fearlessness. I think they both made India really proud.
Recently I read the ACTOR series by Sarah.J.MAss and I would choose Rhysand from it. I think he is the most desirable fictional hero I have ever read.
I have’nt come across any fictional villain who is my favorite.
Elif Shafak, Khalid Hosseini,Taylor jenkin raid, Fedrick backman, Madeline Miller
The Palace of illusion, Forty rules of love, A pearl that broke its shell, A little life and Bhagwat Geeta.
I would name two books here, Bhagwat Geeta and Forty rules of love by Elif Shafak. First book obviously, is a guide how to live life and second book is not about the love we see these day. It’s actually about the love we need in our life.
" Tanu weds Manu series, 5 to 7, Dear Comrade, Rockstar, Mann "
I wish I had power to go anywhere without stepping out of my house. I hate travelling but I really want to see the world and experience new culture.
In the end nothing would matter, so let that be. Do what you feel is right.
I haven’t traveled anywhere apart from India. And I love India and I would always choose to live here. So to be honest I don’t have any answer to this question. But I would really like to stay in Paris for a while. It’s been my dream since I was in college.
I would really love to learn Indian traditional dance. Any traditional Indian Dance. I think they those dances just look graceful and beautiful on stage while performing. I wish I could do that too.
I wish I had written “ The Palace of illusion” by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni . It is such a intriguing retelling of Mahabharat from the perspective of Draupdadi. I have already read it twice and I am going read it few more times. It is incredible.
I write in the morning, with my morning tea. When my head is still heavy with all the emotions and things which I want to unwind. I write in my home office. I have small floor bed there, its my writing and thinking place
During the day, you’ll always find me with my earpods. I work in my office with music blasting into my ears. But when I write, I go all silent. Inside outside.
Kindness is free, spend it freely.
I don’t have any writing ritual. But while writing this book I made sure that I wrote atleast 500 words a day no matter what.
My guilty reading pleasure is reading sad books. I know they mess up your head but I think we learn a lot about human emotions from them.
Just write what you feel. Don’t try to sugar coat it for the world. Write for yourself.
