*What is your biggest source of inspiration in life? -My parents.

*What hurts you most in this world? -Infidelity of any kind is something I cannot stand.

*What is the biggest challenge you have faced? How did you overcome it? -The biggest challenge was to transform myself from being a doctor to being an engineer. My parents helped me a lot and it is just because if them that I am what I am today. I am thankful to God because He has always done what is best suited for me even when I don't know it myself. I guess that is why He is called God. He knows me better than myself.

*What is your favorite genre and why? -I guess romance because I myself am a very romantic person. (laughs)
*When did you start writing? -I have been writing since my school days, for elocution competitions and various others. Honestly, even I didn't realize when I turned into a writer, good enough to publish my own novel.

*What is the purpose of your writing? -I write to express my thoughts because I can frame feelings better in writing than speaking.
*Which of your work has been published so far? Would you like to share a synopsis of your work? -My first novel 1 Love, 2 Religions: A Romantic Dilemma has been published in September 2013. It is a self narrative compilation of a girl named Sakshi as she passes through the very designated transits of her life. Life would have been a lot simpler if the 'event' called Love favored coreligionists. But unfortunately it's not so. Sakshi's life revolved around her besties namely Revathi, Ryan and Jake. Ryan and Revathi fall in love even before they realize that the are not from same religions to have a stable future in their relationship. Meanwhile Jake finds himself tangled in a relationship that he's not supposed to be in. Sakshi's life is molded and mended by all these events happening around her as she finally finds her man which adds yet another love story into this compilation of a young urban girl trying to come to terms with her life. Ryan and Revathi's dilemma over love and religion, Sakshi's sometimes-smooth-sometimes-bumpy life and Jake's unfortunate befuddlement all sum up to an exciting and romantic assemblage. I have also published an article titled "From MBBS to Engineering..." in the UK Writer's Forum. Link- http://www.ukwritersforum.com/from-mbbs-to-engineering-by-madhuri-varma/11209 The same is also published in Intellinotions emagazine. Link- http://ezineemagazine.blogspot.in/2013/11/from-mbbs-to-engineering-madhuri-varma.html
