About
your education
I am currently a school student,
ongoing 12th.
What
career did you plan during your education days?
I always aimed to be an architect.
What
languages you can speak and write?
I can speak, read and write English
and Hindi. Also, I am learning to speak Spanish these days.
What is
your biggest source of inspiration in life?
My parents.
What
hurts you most in this world?
Materialism hurts me the most. This
world has totally transformed into a materialistic world. So, the rich are
becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer. Also, corruption, honor
killing and child labor hurts me like anything.
What is the biggest challenge you have faced? How did you
overcome it?
Rejection, this was one of the
biggest challenges I have ever faced. My MS had been rejected by most of the
traditional publishers. I had lost
almost all the hopes but then I watched the video of Sandeep Maheswari’s last
seminar. It provoked and encouraged me and helped me in restoring my lost hope
to a larger extent.
What is
your favorite genre and why?
Fiction and fantasy as it is totally based on imagination.
No connection with real life, everything is so unnatural and
new. I find the characters being portrayed interesting and thus it makes a
happy read. Apart from fiction and fantasy, I enjoy reading motivational and
self help books. These books help us to relate ourselves with our daily life
problems.
When
did you start writing?What is the purpose of your writing?
I started writing when I was in my 9th
standard. The only purpose of my writing was to inspire others.
