I am a mechanical engineering graduate and has done MBA from ICFAI University. I have completed 15 years in IT industry. I am a vociferous reader and loves to run marathons. I am also passionate about long distance cycling and has completed brevet over 200km in one go. After my first book \u201cJust Six Evenings\u201d which was a love story became a bestseller that encouraged me to write my second book \u201cThe Amigos\u201d<\/p>\n

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

I felt a void inside me growing by continuously working and traveling day in day out.\u00a0 When my daughter was born a few years back, I was very happy and decided that I would not let this void overcome me and would pursue my hobby of writing for which I was really passionate.<\/p>\n

What have you written? Give us an insight into your book<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Amigos is about 3 friends with different dreams, it is only after an incident that their life changes and they redefine the purpose of their life. The book talks about the value of courage in life. Our nation is a young nation and we want courage in our generation, we want GMD in all of us. GMD stands for Gee mein dee, D is the Dum that young Indians should have in them.<\/p>\n

Your book deals with various elements such as friendship, bonding, revolution, and growing-up. What made you write on such subjects?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As I said, ours is a young nation and to tell a story of young men; I have woven it around pillars of friendship, bonding and then finally a revolution that the young generation of India should bring in this country. Any revolution requires courage and that\u2019s where the message of GMD has been told in the book. Since society fears rebellion it always slots people but if we have to make our nation greatest in the world revolution is needed by young men and women of our country.<\/p>\n

How long on average does it take you to write a book?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Since I am not a full-time writer it usually takes me anything between 2-3 years to complete a book from writing to the first copy hitting the store.<\/p>\n

Press Releases<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>What are your ambitions for your writing career?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I want to see my book turning into blockbuster movies some day.<\/p>\n

What does your family think of your writing?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They are very supportive, when I am writing I am actually eating into their time with me after work. But they understand my passion and help me fulfill my dream<\/p>\n

Which writers inspire you? Why?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are many writers that inspire me, they are all good and I learn from every book of theirs :Robert Ludlum, Fredrik Forsyth, JK Rowling, Stephen King, Dan Brown, Amish Tripathi<\/p>\n

What is the hardest thing about writing?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

To tell more in fewer words is the hardest thing about writing<\/p>\n

What are the common traps for aspiring writers & what advice you give them?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Self-Publishing if not done from a good agency can be a big trap for aspiring authors
\nBook Marketing is widely abused world where people get trapped in number of likes and followers on social media.<\/p>\n

Say something about Writing Geeks<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Writing Geeks is a great initiative and it is extra special that the team is made up of young men and women. Writing is the best medium to spread good ideas and writing geeks is a great platform where creative people can share their work and get feedback. They are a perfect example of GMD, i.e. to have the courage to follow one’s dream, I wish them all the success in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
