After continuously being rejected for trying to work on lives of people and not giving me a platform to perform things that needs immediate attention, I felt being a reporter, and trying to change things is impossible. I have decided to quit that post and create a platform of my own, which will help express my thoughts on social issues, where it allows people to think before doing anything and acquire inspiration to live for their Passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll you need is just a Second\u201d is my debut novel, where I had shared the real emotions I encountered in various situations, which will help you to perceive \u2018emotions and reactions\u2019 from a different perceptive, when thought carefully before acting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Chit Chat Session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tell us a little about yourself and your background?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><br>I am a very passionate and empathetic person. I always put myself in other&#8217;s shoes and try understanding them. Most of the times, I prefer solving things by communicating, that just assuming. Coming to my education, I completed my masters in journalism and worked as a reporter in both print and electronic media.\u00a0 I was an athlete in my school and almost represented my school in every sports event held. I love pot painting and mostly I prefer making crafts to decorate my home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You were a successful reporter. What made you quit your job and switch to writing?<\/strong><br>My reason is very simple. I believe change happens when we take the first step. But in my case, I took the step, but the medium I choose to take the step was a complete fault. My organisation is too TRP oriented to focus on any good news and hence I had to resign because my conscience always asked me to choose what\u2019s benefiting the ones in need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What have you written? Give us an insight into your book.<\/strong><br>The title of my debut book is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/All-you-need-just-Second\/dp\/1684665868\/\">\u201cAll you need is just a second\u201d<\/a>. It\u2019s a non-fiction, self -help book. The book mainly focuses on one\u2019s emotional reaction to any situation and how a single second of thinking before reacting in any situation can make a huge difference. The main reason behind taking my own experiences and writing a book is because I wanted people to take my experience as an example to understand how not to react in a few situations. it\u2019s more like, telling people a story with taking my experience as an example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.in\/All-you-need-just-Second\/dp\/1684665868\/\">Buy Now<br><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Could you describe your journey as a writer?<\/strong><br>Until I decided to finally write I wasn\u2019t sure if what I was trying to write is correct. But you just need a single second to start anything you believe is best. And hence I began writing and finished the entire book in less than 2 months.\u00a0 I had hard times when I feared I might sound immature while writing the book, but with my husband\u2019s, my best friend and family support, I could complete it successfully.  <strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the most fulfilling part of writing? And what is the most challenging?<\/strong><br>The most fulfilling part is to first hold your book in your hand. And most challenging I feel is trying to receive every feedback and still not lose hope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Self publishing or traditional publishing?<\/strong><br>Depends on the situation but I mostly prefer self-publishing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which writers Inspires you<\/strong><br>The first ever writer I knew was Yandamuri Veerendranath. His writings were interesting and mind changing. I like Durjoy Datta\u2019s and Preeti Shenoy\u2019s writings too.\u00a0 Coming to the inspiring part, I\u2019m inspired by myself.\u00a0 I love the way I write and I find great challenge in trying to write, to inculcate thinking. <strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the next book that you have planned?<\/strong><br>Next book surely is a fictional one. I am sure this one too excites you.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Divya: Soon after quitting the job as an unsatisfying reporter from a reputed media organization, I have decided to create a platform of my own to express my thoughts.
