QUESTIONNAIRE:
1) When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
I had always been writing articles, poems, and short
stories in school, later on as a facilitator. Writing a novel was something of
a dream and for many years I felt, it is not my cup of tea. Then it all happened unplanned; I myself do
not know how I got the confidence of publishing the manuscript into a novel.
2) How long does it take you to write a book?
The first novel I finished in flat six months. The
complete story was in my head and it didn’t take me time to write it.
3) What is your work schedule when you are writing?
I don’t have a fixed writing schedule. I try to write every
day, in the night, after completing the day’s work. Putting the children to bed,
then I sit long.
4) What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
I do not have any writing quirk as such, yes but I can
say, if I have something fixed in my head, unlike people who say that they need
a quiet place to write. I don’t require complete quiet, I can write in a noisy
place as well. You know sound of music,
T.V. nothing matters.
5) Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?
I don’t hunt for topics as such. Various topics,
characters, etc these things keep on revolving in my mind always So, something
which I read, see or observe if it clicks then I write on it.
6) What do you like to do when you're not writing?
I read a lot, I am something of a movie buff, so I watch
movies then I love to travel as well.
7) Tell us something about your novel/book ?
My book, ‘The Mysterious Widows of Mehboobpura’ is a
thriller, with an army officer’s wife as a protagonist. It is a story of a
young woman, who gets inadvertently involved in a drug racket, then how she saves
herself while finishing the racket is the story.
And,
8) What is the most surprising thing that you learned while
creating your books?
India is a country with almost no reading culture.
People will spend money on anything but not books. But then this scenario needs to be changed, I
guess, children, and people of all age groups should read more and watch less.
