- How did your journey as a writer begin? What inspired you to start writing?
Author:
I’ve been writing a diary since my school days, quietly hiding it from everyone.
As an introvert throughout my childhood and adolescence, I found it difficult to express myself openly. So I began pouring my emotions onto those pages—turning my silence into words, and my feelings into something I could finally understand.
- What genres, themes, or subjects do you prefer to write about, and why?
Author:
I’ve always loved writing about personal emotions—through poems, short stories, and real-life experiences. I also enjoy expressing my thoughts on social, political, and personal issues, exploring thought-provoking topics and presenting their pros and cons with honesty and depth.
- Was there a particular book, author, or incident that influenced your decision to write?
Author:
During my school days, I loved reading Sherlock Holmes, along with the works of R. K. Narayan and Ruskin Bond.
Their books deeply inspired me—their storytelling, simplicity, and depth shaped the way I began to see and understand the world through words.
- What challenges or obstacles have you faced in your writing journey, and how did you overcome them?
Author:
I was often confused about what I should write—poetry, articles, or stories. I kept wondering what readers of this generation would prefer, and in trying to please everyone, I lost my own direction as a writer.
Then one of my friends told me something that changed everything: don’t write according to everyone’s choices—write what you truly feel and believe.
And when I finally did that, I found my voice.
As a result, my first book, Tashi, came into existence.
- Can you recall a memorable moment or incident related to your writing that deeply impacted you?
Author:
When I began following my emotions in writing, I started by keeping notes before creating the manuscript.
I shared some of those early pieces with my close friends, and their honest reviews encouraged me deeply. Their feedback didn’t just motivate me—it helped me grow, refine my voice, and believe more in my writing journey.
- What message, thought, or emotion do you try to convey through your books or poems?
Author:
We carry so many emotions within us that we cannot always express openly. When we keep suppressing them, they begin to weigh heavily on our hearts.
Writing poetry became my way of release. By pouring my emotions into words, I feel lighter, calmer, and more at peace. It is the one way I know to quiet my mind and give my heart the space it needs to breathe.
- Which of your writings is closest to your heart, and why?
Author:
The poem “Someone’s Main Stanza” is one of my favorites because, like any normal human being, I carry the simple hope of being loved, appreciated, admired, and truly understood.
That poem reflects a quiet desire we all share—the longing to matter deeply in someone’s story.
- If you had to describe your identity as a writer in one line or belief, what would it be?
Author:
I would like to be known as Tashi, a name that means blessings or good fortune.
Because through my muse and my words, I hope to spread positivity and light into genuine hearts.
- How do you see yourself evolving as a writer in the future? Are there any upcoming projects or genres you wish to explore?
Author:
I enjoy writing across many different genres, exploring various themes throughout my life.
My next project will be an anthology, and with it, I hope to grow beyond being known only as a poet. I want to see myself as a versatile writer—someone who can express emotions, ideas, and stories in many forms.
- What advice or message would you like to give to aspiring writers or readers?
Author:
To fellow writers, I would say this: we cannot write to convince each and every soul—and we don’t have to. That is not our responsibility.
What we can do is pour our own soul into our books—into every word, every sentence, every stanza. When we write with honesty and truth, the right hearts will always connect with it.
For readers, I would like to say this: cherish the words, phrases, and emotions that you truly relate to—and gently leave the rest behind.
Not every line is meant for everyone, and that’s perfectly okay. Don’t carry the burden of emotions that don’t resonate with you. Let reading be a space of connection, not pressure.
