life and in the process creating a better world to live for future generations.

knowledge about the self, knowledge about what is important to be done, and
most importantly the knowledge about why is it important. He strongly believes
that in today’s volatile time one faces various challenging situations in the
day-to-day life and in order to overcome that one has to think and act
differently so as not to get attached to old and obsolete ideas. To him, the

growing.
Questionnaire:
1) when did you first realize you wanted to be a writer ?
Ans: It took me more than ten years to write this book. The
book Wisdom Capsules from the Diary of
the Visionary of Truth is basically my own realizations of different
aspects of life. I started putting down those realizations and thought of
sharing these with everyone else and that’s when the idea of writing a book
came to my mind.
2) how long does it take you to write a book ?
Ans: As I have mentioned, it took me around ten years to
write and publish my first book Wisdom
Capsules from the Diary of the Visionary of Truth. As the book is about my
realizations of different aspects of life, it was not possible for me to keep
writing the book continuously at a stretch. I was definitely going slow while
writing the book but even after completing the main text of the book it took me
another three years to complete the process of publishing.
3) what is your work schedule when you are writing ?
Ans: As I was writing the book slow, I really didn’t have to
struggle with the work schedule as I was mostly writing in my spare time.
Moreover, I feel that it was not difficult for me to find time for this work as
I was quite passionate about it. The kind of stuff I love to write and the kind
of stuff I love to learn are stuffs I am quite passionate about and that is
personal development which I discovered long back in my life.
4) what would you say is your interesting writing quirk ?
Ans: It is personal development. I discovered it long back
in my life that the thing that excites me more than anything else is to know
myself better and to know how I can make myself better. That is why I developed
a particular thought process quite early in my life that helped me to look at
the world from a different perspective. The reason I have chosen personal
development as my field of study is it is actually at the core of any other
development in life. I have realized one thing that whatever happens in our
life always happens inside ourselves first. So if we can fix that first,
everything else gets automatically fixed.
5) where do you get your information or ideas for your books
?
Ans: Since my childhood, I was an avid reader. I used to
read a lot of books but after a stage in my life I developed a particular
interest for personal development stuffs and since then my focus primarily
shifted towards the betterment of my own self. So I started studying relevant
books, watching relevant videos and movies that provide a message of social or
personal mastery, reading biographies of the great men and studying their lives. Gradually, I started
developing a different perspective towards my life and my whole view of life
got changed. I believe that each human being is a reservoir of unlimited ideas
and everyone has unlimited potential.
6) what do you like to do when you're not writing ?
Ans: Most of the times I read. I really don’t have any
particular time for writing but whenever some new ideas or thoughts come to my
mind I write it down and then try to elaborate it further.
7) tell us something about your novel/book ?
Ans: ‘Wisdom Capsules’
is not a how-to manual for people to do and achieve things. It is a treasure
having all the wisdom of the Visionary of Truth which anyone can imbibe and
lead a life of significance. This book is meant to help people search deep in
their lives to find answers to fundamental questions that relate to their
self-identity and individuality.
This book tries to give a glimpse of the mindset and the
thought process of the Visionary of Truth. It is not easy to define a Visionary
of Truth in one line. The Visionary of Truth is a realized soul. The most
important question that one should ask is why a Visionary of Truth behaves the
way he does?
The main purpose of this book is to share with the readers
some of the basic characteristics of a Visionary of Truth that differentiate
him from the rest of the people in this world. The ideas and the thoughts
contained in this book can make one think beyond one’s limitations and can help
to cross the boundaries of ignorance and enter the zone of blissful living.
And,
8) what one of the most surprising thing you learned in
creating your books ?
Ans: Writing a book is not an easy task. It takes a lot of
hard work and consistent effort. Writing the content of the book is one thing
but when it comes to publication, it’s completely a different dimension. I have
this practical experience because I finished writing the content of the book Wisdom Capsules around 3 years before it
was published but when I started the publishing process it was a completely new
experience for me to do a whole lot of different things with a completely
different focus. Another thing that I observed was that when I decided to write
a book around 10 years back it actually put me in a different state of mind and
I started looking at things quite differently. It helped me a lot to develop
myself personally by working very closely on my consciousness level. This is my
belief that our true measure of growth is determined by the growth in our level
of consciousness. More we are able to think and act and decide consciously,
more we are growing to a higher level in life.
