3) Can you recall that moment when you first realized that there is an author within you? Or it was someone else you discovered the author in you?
The first moment, I realized my love for writing is when I wrote a short story or poem (exactly I can’t remember), in my first or second grade.
Since that time, writing has always been my absolute favourite thing to do. I can spend days reading and writing without any trouble!
4) Being an engineering student how you developed a knack towards writing?
It is inborn, I think. I never started doing it by seeing anyone else.
5) Is there any chance to see Ishita the Engineer back to the engineering world?
I don’t think so.
6) So, there are 3 books by you available in the market. which among 3 is your favourite and why?
If We Last (After Crossing a Light-year) is my debut novel and it will always be special to me as my life changed after publishing this one.
7)  The conflict between the publishers and authors is very common. Have you faced such a problem while finding a publisher for your book?
Yes, there was a lot of struggle for months and days. But keeping me calm and staying determined helped me during that time.
8) Share with us about the recognitions you received so far for your work?
Well, it’s been around two years since the time I published my debut novel. My name, profile, work got verified in Google, I got featured in many leading newspapers and digital platforms, most importantly I have got thousands of readers who loved and loves my writing, which gives me the creative satisfaction I was looking for.
9) What about poetry- It attracts you or not? any plan to try this section of the literature world.
Of course, it does attract me. I do write but not that often as I am working on my books now. But yes, definitely want to explore all the parts of the literature.
10) What type of reviews you are getting about your book? Is there something that you feel you need to improve in your next project?
I got 90% positive feedback so far though I am very open about negative ones as well, as there is always something to learn or improve more, I believe. Many ones said my first book is a bit more descriptive, while many readers said it helped them imagining more clearly, some told it was not that much needed. So, I am going to keep it in mind for my next novels, I guess.
