“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’.

Yes absolutely, we should be embracing gratitude to all the people who help us in our certain journey of learning & development. As far as my “Author Journey” is concerned, I would like to extend my heartfelt thankfulness to my entire family, friends & readers for their benevolent support, unconditional blessings, constructive guidance & honest feedback. Moreover, I am also indebted to all my educators who enlightened my learning path. 

As writing is a hard job that requires consistent efforts, I think I could be able to publish these three books because all these people mentioned above acted as a cheerleader to me. 

Touchwood! God gave me the inner strength & courage to accomplish these milestones. 

When and how did the idea of writing a book “Unbelievable Transformation” come to you? Can you tell us a bit about your books? Who is your favourite character from any of your books?

“Unbelievable Transformation” is an urban fantasy & a thrilling tale of suffering & survival. When I was done with my first two books, I determined myself to come up with a very distinguished & unexplored idea & storyline. As I am a travel-enthusiast & a nature-lover too, I brainstormed & then this storyline popped up in my mind. However, I had some plots in my mind from the initial time itself but I was not having enough time to ponder. Then, Covid-19 hit & the thick black clouds of lockdown surrounded us. So, I made the most out of it & produced this gothic fiction. 

When it comes to selecting genre, I think we should go with two factors- Interest & scope. All my three books are having different genres- 

1. Deep Realization- An emotionally-charged story
2. Perfect goodness of ghost- A crime-thriller & a gothic fiction.
3. Unbelievable transformation- An urban fantasy.

Deep realization is an emotionally-charged story of self-transformation. 

Perfect goodness of ghost is a gothic fiction with supernatural elements presenting a message of forgiveness.

My favourite character is from the book- Perfect goodness of ghost & that is Mr. Hover Shemp through which the message of forgiveness & righteousness has been portrayed in the story. Moreover, It’s a humorous character too & I loved creating this one.

According to you which are the 5 books, everyone should read and who are your top 3 Authors and what impact they had in your journey as a writer?

My recommended books are-

a)The Alchemist by Paul Coelho.

b)The art of being grateful & other stories by Manali Desai.

c)One arranged murder by Chetan Bhagat.

d)SouganDilli by Sougand Akbarian.

e)Unbelievable transformation by Azeem Uddin. 

All these 5 books are really worth reading & impactful. 

My favourite top 3 authors are William Shakespeare, Paul Coelho & Chetan Bhagat. 

Their written compositions are really worth-imbibing & understandable. Moreover, for the new writers as well, it would be great to pick up their books for better understanding of character-development, plot-analysis, imagery, visualisation etc.

Are you working on anything at the present you would like to share with your readers?

No, presently I am a working professional in the corporate world. I am not finding time for a new composition. However, I have few plots in my mind but the first draft is still yet to accomplish. For sure, I will be keeping my readers’ posted about the progress of my next book.

Having written various research papers as well as books at a very young age, when and how did your interest in writing developed?

On a personal level, my authordom journey has been all about consistent efforts, appropriate brainstorming & thoughtful thinking & of course sheer hard work. Being academically-sound right from my schooling days, I was fascinated by books & I have always appreciated the nuances of literature. Now, I am grinning from ear to ear & superfluously thrilled to bits that all my books see the light of the day. I strongly believe in presenting the story with a jaw-dropping twist & in conveying deep messages with a lifelong meaning. 

I think when I started writing & publishing research papers, that was the turning point in my life. I got acquainted to technical writing & then I switched to creative/fiction writing processes. However, becoming a published author has always been one of my many dreams.

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

I am a compulsive optimist person, philanthropist & bestselling author. I believe in planning & execution. I always try to achieve self-actualization, self-regulation & self-management. 

My family comprises of 4 members excluding me- my parents & my brother- sister-in-law. I have been born & brought-up in a very disciplined & etiquetted environment where harmonious relationships & human values are ensured to the fullest. I dislike fake people, toxic relationships, criticism & complaining attitude.

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

People write books to enlighten, educate, inspire, inform & entertain, to boost their credibility, to share a definite message, to teach & serve others, to have a business card & to build a local business & for the sake of contentment. Well, for me literary success happens when readers can relate my lifelong messages of my books in their own personal life to get better & I think that is the true spirit of literature.

As a part of this process, writers’ face writers’ block or blank-page syndrome. Some below-mentioned sure-shot tricks could be beneficial-

1. Take a temporary halt from your writing task.
2. Ask people for honest feedback- use show & tell concept.
3. Review your genre, plot & characters.
4. Research for relatable sequences.
5. Be inquisitive, explorative & industrious.
