chance to know about all the important people who have played a part in this Author Journey of yours. The most important person I am grateful to is my 7-year-old daughter, who sees my work as ‘work’ and makes sure that when I am working no one disturbs me. Sometimes, she would stand at the door and allow no one to enter inside the room when I am writing a blogpost or conducting a webinar. Besides her, my whole family has always been supportive.
Certainly, I’m elated to let my readers know more about me and the important people who have played a major role in the Author Journey of mine. My mother has played a major role in making me what I’m today. My wife’s incessant support is a great motivation for me.
The burden of bearing cluttered thoughts and experiences for a long time brought me the idea of authoring books. And I began to pen down when I realized that the stories I have in store with me can change the world like never before. Therefore I began to declutter my mind through pen.
Making the world beautiful is the ultimate aim of an author. The world will never be beautiful without truth. I have authored 3 novels, viz. ’The Limit of Truth’, ‘Made For Each Other’ and The Blueprint’. ‘Learning is Truth, Nothing else Is.’-is a quote from ‘The Blueprint’.
My books are inspired by real life characters to a larger extent. I don’t spend time on researching while writing. Well, I admit I had been researching for long five years fondling the idea of being an author one day.
I just travel down the memory lane of real life characters who are already imprinted on my mind indelible. But I don’t hesitate to add some fictional flavour into it wherever it is inevitable.
Well, very rare books have inspired me. One among them is Animal Farm. My next novel is something of that genre. It could be a complete analogy like Animal Farm.
5 books everyone should read are:

My wife is a teacher and we have twin sons. I like truth of all sorts and hate lies and hypocrisy. I keep hypocrisy above all sins. Hypocrisy is the origin of all sins, I believe.
You need to dare to tell the world your stories no matter how raw it seems provided it holds the magic to make the world more beautiful. You can be fictitious enough to charm your readers but should not be at the stake of Truth.
Finding the right publisher was the most difficult part of my publishing process. A right publisher will cover up the whole scope of a budding author and help his works reach out to more readers with better marketing strategies.
