“Sometimes, we do not get a chance to thank each one who has helped us in our Journey.” Let the readers get a chance to know about all the important people who have played a part in this Author Journey of yours.

The very first person who is the heart of all my books so far is ANTI JI, it is the nick name of my one sided love who is the reason and inspiration behind “KHWAISH”. Apart from that my sisters Harshita di, Riya di, Simran Anand, BHUMIKA, Shivaay bro, Nancy my very good friend. Then comes my college gang Utsav, Pankaj, Sunny, Adesh, Rohit.

My grandfather, My parents, My Mentors Sheeraz sir, Anuradha ma’am, Mohit sir. Late. Seema Agarwal my principal ma’am.

There are many more like in my life each and every individual has motivated, inspired me in one or the other thing. Everyone has taught me a letter.

When and how did the idea of authoring a book come to you? Can you tell us a bit about your book ‘Khwaish’?

So the idea behind the book KHWAISH was to express my love, to express my feelings to this beautiful lady who is my one sided love. To tell the world how much I love her. To dedicate something unique. This book contains the whole 2 years Journey of my one sided love. From the time I first saw her in the college to the time we stopped talking, every situation I beautifully expressed in the book.

This book is not a book but it’s my heart which I poured.

What triggered you to work towards the social causes? Tell us about the motivation behind and your future plans with all your campaigns.

So I read this line in my class 5th NCERT book, India is a developing country, and this line really pinned me hard, that day I thought I will remove the word developing and write developed in place of it.

This line became my constant motivation. So my future plans are to serve the country in three main domains Youth empowering, Women empowering, Artist empowering. 

What do you think are the best features of self-publishing and how is it different from traditional publishing in terms of marketing a book?

So according to me, self-publishing is best because you exactly get what you want.  In my case, I opted self-publishing so I choose a package from Rosewoodpub which suits my pocket at the same point of time could give me all the features I am looking for. From the cover of the book to the trailer to everything was the best and according to me, so I became satisfied. Coming towards marketing so online platforms are best to market your products to the right customers.  So the publisher and I both are doing marketing for my book in order to increase sales.

According to you which are the 5 books, everyone should read and also who are your top 3 Authors?

See basically I am not a reader, haven’t read any book apart from the 12th syllabus so I can’t recommend but yes as much as I heard about the book names, CHETAN BHAGAT,  DURJOY DATTA, RUSKIN BOND, RAVINDER SINGH they are a treat to read. Apart from that Rich dad poor dad is a must-read book.

Being a Social entrepreneur at a very young age, what according to you are the gaps and trends in social entrepreneurship? Why is it important for society? Any advice for upcoming social entrepreneurs?

So talking about Social Entrepreneurship so it’s not a one-day process, social entrepreneur is a responsibility for taking society into consideration,  for working for society. Creating a change in the society. It’s most important as we the Entrepreneurs take resources from the society so it’s our responsibility to give back to society. Society Entrepreneurship is a never-ending process. So for the budding social entrepreneurs, it’s a request to think for Innovation, out of the box, coming out of your comfort zone, and create a legacy in the society. 

Are you working on anything at the present you would like to share with your readers about? Where do you see yourself five years from now?

So when I was in my first year, I did two internships under the UIDAI government of India, GAIL government of India.

After that in the second year, I established my own event management company by the name of PLAN_IT_4U, registered under the government of India, which is India’s first event management company to have only youths in it, we say “we have worked with Nasruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapoor, Geeta Dutta, reality show fame celebrity, etc. The mission vision behind this firm is to provide part-time jobs and internships to all the college-going youths to get them in touch with the corporate world and help them become financially independent and learn practical things. With this, we have impacted 1000+ youths have a team of 100+ interns under us which keep on fluctuating”.

Then I established ARTISTIC_BYNATURE, India’s first and biggest artistic community to support, appreciate, promote, motivate, inspire artists, with this organization I have done 1000+ events nationally & internationally helping artists, I have organized the World’s first Instagram live session on world dance day with 15+ dancers through this organization.

I also have organized India’s largest talent hunt event in this lockdown. The mission vision of this community is to empower artists as in this globalized society, parents don’t support art and artists and want their children to be a career moule so we support, appreciate, motivate and help all those aspiring artists and help them to pursue art as their passion, profession. To date, I have impacted 10,000+ artists across the nation.

Then I established THEYOGI_GANG ( YOGI:- YOUTH OF GLOBAL INDIA) which is India’s biggest youth empowering community to help youth to get practical aspects of life, I give seminars, session, and workshops in different schools & colleges to spread practical knowledge and to give the youth a practical mindset.  Our mission-vision is to empower youth, help them to be with an entrepreneurial mindset, get the youth to develop, learn practical skills knowledge, for example, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, PERIOD EDUCATION, SEX EDUCATION, MENSTRUAL HYGIENE, etc not being just a career moule, not just running after jobs but creating jobs. Being employers, not just employees.

In this lockdown, we have organized the world’s first 2 days of the Instagram live session by the name of #changemakers with 15+ speakers from all across the world. I also have a chapter under the PERIOD movement, to spread awareness regarding period education in the country. I ALSO ORGANIZED YOUTH TALKS ON INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY, A 7 DAY INITIATIVE.

I organized the #DILSEDILTAK event on Valentine’s day with various events like poetry, Shayari, debate, meme-making, etc.

Then I established BHARAT_GIRLUP an initiative under UNITED NATIONS FOUNDATION along with  PRANJUL TYAGI, who is my constant motivation & inspiration, I organized different campaigns for spreading awareness, regarding women empowering equality at large. Working for equal rights of women, men, and LGBTQ community people.

We have organized India’s largest online debate competition by the name of VAKTAVYA which was an international event.

On International Youth Day we organized a 3 Days ONLINE VIRTUAL LIVE SESSION. We organized BBC, BHARAT BANEGA CHAMPION GRAND QUIZ event on 26th January. We also organized various talent hunts to spread awareness. 

So I see myself in the next five years in someplace where I will be guiding youths towards nation-building, but at large, I would be holding some reputed posts and some revenue-generating model.

Tell us a bit about your family, likes and dislikes as a person.

Talking about my family we belong to a middle-class family. My father was having his canteen business which apparently stopped because of lockdown, my mother is a school teacher. I have my younger brother who is in 8th class.  I have my grandfather and grandmother, the grandmother is paralyzed and the grandfather is blind because of age factors. 

I like to sing, dance, debate, interact with people, to make everyone happy.

I hate fake people and I hate comparing people. 

How can a writer keep the mental block or writer’s block away from his/her creativity?

Through exploring. A writer should explore himself,  should know how to use creativity wisely. A writer should analyze each and every aspect and should deliver the truth to his audience. 

At Sharing Stories, we have an ongoing campaign ‘Empowering Our Kids’ where we are trying to encourage and inculcate reading habit from a young age. We are trying to pick up 20 to 30 must read books for children and try and make them available at our library in Jaipur, also to take this initiative across the globe. Please suggest some books which you think every child should read before the age of 15 (mostly the character defining age).

Rich dad poor dad, an autobiography of All the renowned personality so that kids should know the meaning of struggle.
