Interview in Rainbow Times, Lucknow


1-      Q1-How was the journey from a French teacher to an author?
  Ans: This journey was a very crucial part of my life. Since, I was not a full time employee of any organisation, I was able to pen down “I Live for You..”. Otherwise it would have not been possible. I had started teaching much before I completed my graduation. And the expeience was more fun than what I expected.

2-what were the main things  you kept in mind-while writing  ‘I live for you’.
Ans: There aren’t any special things that I kept in my mind. However, I made it a point that I do not write anything that would be very sensitive or hurt any person.

3.    Do you really think that people already in commiited in a relationship fall in love again?
Ans: Why not? But, circumstances must be observed. You can’t simply fall in love with another man or woman just because of his or her looks when you still have a loving and caring partner. Also, if a person goes through such a situation in his or her life, it is necessary that you make confessions before it is too late and do not keep your partner in dark. In I Live for You.., Aaditya and Shria too do the same. They waste no time in 
confessing Varun and Payal about their relationship.
     
4-Who motivates you to write this novel ?
     Ans: Breakups and divorces which are so rampant nowadays have certainly motivated me to pen down “I Live for You..” People do not give a second thought and end up their beautiful relationships.  As said many times, “I Live for You..” will work as a prescription for broken hearts. It was very recent that I received a message on facebook from a fan who said that my book is the survivor of her relationship with her husband. I was simply satisfied. 

     5-IT is easy to teach French or it is easy to write novel ?
    Ans: Teaching and writing are both challenging. You need preparation for both these activities. For me, since I have more experience in teaching I would say that it is comparatively easier. But, writing is pure fun. It is a stress reliever for me.
     
6-what are the changes that have come in your life after becoming author ?
Ans: There are many changes that have come in my life. People appreciate my efforts as I have brought “I Live for You..” at such a young age. I have become more conscious regarding what is happening around. I can also sense that I am slowly turning into a public figure, thus I must stay calm and unwavering. The way my readers have welcomed me and accpted my work is commendable. I always believe that whatever marketing plans, strategies , etc., you adopt, it is always mouth publicity that makes you strong. I am fortunate that I am getting great reviews from my readers  across the country. Thank you so much!
