Chit Chat Session
Tell us a little about yourself and your background?
I am from city Sagar, and I enjoyed my childhood with my cousins as we use to live in joint family. I still remember we use to have our theater group in which we use to write stories for our play and then performed in front of our elders. My Grandfather uses to appreciate us by giving one Banana each on our performance, and we loved those days. I passed out from St. Joseph convent school in Sagar, about which you can read in my story “My Mute Girlfriend” as well.
How did ‘My Mute Girlfriend’ happen? Could you describe the journey?

What is the next book that you have planned?
I am working on my next novel, which is a romance, but I can bet you would have never read a type of story which I am going to narrate next. Cannot reveal many details now.
What are you currently reading?
