AUTHOR'S INTERVIEW: SEARCHING MY LAND BY PARUL SHARMA



ABOUT THE NOVELLA :

      Falling in love is natural, isn't it? It is such a miraculous feeling. Everyone falls for it. But the real challenge lies ahead. It is staying in love. "And when staying in love becomes difficult? When staying in love gives you a hellish kind of experience? When you start hating that feeling called love?" Then, where is the rescue? You try to come out of that relationship. But is it that easy? And what happens when coming out of that relationship seems almost Impossible? Get ready to witness the beautifully woven tale of the Impossible. Experience the journey from the Impossible to the Impossible possible. Explore the dynamics of love by stepping into the shoes of Parul Sharma.


 QUESTIONNAIRE: 


1)      When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
Well, it is difficult to tell about this realization. But the present realization, that I have become a writer gives me more delight.

2)      How long did it take you to write your novel?
When I was doing my professional course B.Ed in 2014, I had started to jot down my ideas. But, at that time, I had a little idea that I was moving on the path of writing a novel.  And it was in the year 2016 when I penned down my thoughts in an organized manner and I took one complete year to complete my dream project.

3)       What is your work schedule when you are writing?
My work schedule remains pretty normal during the day but I keep myself free from all engagements during night. Because, at night, I am able to connect with myself better.   


4)       What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
Well, it’s a tricky one. But, to answer that, I would say the short and crisp phrases that I have used at many places in novel and they are the ones that give a catalytic effect to my novel. Many of my readers hold the same view.


5)       When did you get your idea for your book?
Initially, when I used to vent out my feelings on paper, I had no purpose in mind.  But then, a point came where I realized that a novel could possibly develop. The moment this thought came in my mind, I didn’t look back and went on and on.

6)        What do you like to do when you're not writing?
                
When I am not writing, I shift my focus to reading. And let me admit here that I am a bad reader.
But I love to buy books in the hope that I would definitely read all of them in the near future.


     7)      Tell us something about your novel?

My novel is about the sufferings and vacuum in a love relationship, the pain and mental turmoil in it. Love relationships are not always the way we think and perceive of them. They can be much more than that. The journey of love is not so easy. Falling in love is easy but the real challenge is staying in love. The theme of the novel revolves around this very challenge and I hope it would reflect the emotions and sentiments of young generation. The young readers may discover the realistic meaning of love.
                  
  
8)      And what was the most beautiful thing you experienced while creating your book?

I would say ‘the process of writing’. And I think it is the most beautiful and magical experience that can ever happen to a writer.  For this, I want to thank God for this Godly experience.

AUTHOR'S INTERVIEW: NAZARIYA: EK YUVA SOCH

ABOUT THE BOOK: "नजरिया- एक युवा सोच" जैसा कि शीर्षक से ही स्पष्ट होता है कि लेखक के मन में क्या है? पुस्तक के बारे में कुछ कहने से पहले मैं यह कहना चाहता हूं कि भविष्य युवाओं का ही है। जिस देश में युवा ताकतवर होंगे, वह देश ताकतवर होगा। आज राजनीतिक दृष्टि से देखा जाए तो प्राय: सभी राजनीति दल भी इसी राह पर चल रहे हैं और युवाओं का आगे कर रहे हैं। हमारे देश में भी युवाओं की अच्छी खासी आबादी है। युवाओं में असीम ऊर्जा होती है। वह कुछ भी कर गुजरने में सक्षम होते हैं। जिसने भी युवाओं को पहचान लिया, समझो उसने भविष्य पहचान लिया। इसके बावजूद आज युवाओं के लिए बहुत कुछ करने की जरूरत है। सरकार की नीतियां भी युवाओं का केन्द्र में रखकर बनती हैं। युवा पीढ़ी ताकतवर रहेगी तो हम ताकतवर रहेंगे। युवा शिक्षित होंगे तो देश शिक्षित होगा। युवाओं के कंधे पर ही सब कुछ टिका है| लेखक अंकित कुंवर स्वयं एक युवा हैं और जाहिर है कि उन्होंने इस सोच को जागरूक करने के लिए अपने लेखों का ताना-बाना बुना है। चार खंडों में विभक्त इस संग्रह में लेखक ने अपने लेखों को शामिल किया है। इन लेखों में समाज...
