1. How did your journey as a writer begin? What inspired you to start writing?
My journey as a writer began as a way to process emotions I couldn’t express in conversation. Over time, it became a form of reflection—on people, relationships, and the quiet truths of life. The Solitude was born from that impulse to explore how memories shape who we become and how love, even when lost, continues to define us.
2. What genres, themes, or subjects do you prefer to write about, and why?
I gravitate toward literary fiction with themes of identity, loss, resilience, and belonging. I’m fascinated by the emotional depth of ordinary lives—the silent struggles, the hidden tenderness, and the ways people rebuild after heartbreak.
3. Was there a particular book, author, or incident that influenced your decision to write?
Writer like Ruskin Bond inspired me to pursue emotionally honest storytelling. His work showed me that you don’t need grand settings—just human truth. Personally, witnessing how time changes relationships pushed me to write stories that preserve emotion before it fades.
4. What challenges or obstacles have you faced in your writing journey, and how did you overcome them?
Balancing creative passion with professional commitments was my biggest challenge. Writing The Solitude often meant late nights and emotional exhaustion. I overcame it by treating writing not as an obligation, but as therapy—something that heals rather than drains.
5. Can you recall a memorable moment or incident related to your writing that deeply impacted you?
When I finished the chapter where Shreya—the woman at the heart of Zoravar’s story—reveals her truth, I found myself in tears. It was the first time I felt my characters were more real than fictional, and that moment reaffirmed why I write—to give voice to the silences we all carry.
6. What message, thought, or emotion do you try to convey through your books or poems?
I want readers to feel that it’s never too late to heal, to forgive, or to rediscover meaning. My stories remind people that love—though imperfect—remains the most profound human connection.
7. Which of your writings is closest to your heart, and why?
The Solitude is closest to my heart because it mirrors my own emotional journey—how time, regret, and hope coexist. It’s not just a story about old age; it’s about finding peace with your past.
8. If you had to describe your identity as a writer in one line or belief, what would it be?
A storyteller of emotions—seeking truth in the spaces between words.
9. How do you see yourself evolving as a writer in the future? Are there any upcoming projects or genres you wish to explore?
I see myself expanding into screenwriting and short story collections, exploring themes of urban isolation and emotional rebirth. I also hope to adapt The Solitude into a visual format—a film or series that carries the same emotional depth.
10. What advice or message would you like to give to aspiring writers or readers?
Write fearlessly and truthfully. Don’t chase trends—chase honesty. Every story that comes from your heart will find its reader eventually.
