Having said that, my heart beats for hockey always and I totally love playing our national game with pride.
You started your journey in such a genre ( Sports) which is just not uncommon but very rare to. Why its sports and not romance?

What did you think about Romantic Novel and its popularity in market?

How you got addicted towards writing world?
Ans: My sports events encouraged me to vent out all my feelings, love and emotions for hockey on a paper. Slowly a small story turned into a novel and I knew I had to publish it and in my own small way encourage people to follow their passion in life

How you reacted when you saw your first copy of debut Novel Klass
Ans: It took some time to sink when I saw the first copy of my book. With heart pounding so fast that I was afraid it would stop beating, I murmured a small prayer for my late grandmother and proudly skipped though it. After almost 3 months, I starred hard at my book and whispered to myself “You did it!”
The conflict between the publishers and authors is very common. Have you faced such problem while finding publisher for your book?

When you first realized that you have the spark of becoming an author?
Ans: It still feels weird when people call me an author!! Hehe..I was hardly ten when after reading an Enid Blyton book I was so inspired that I immediately grabbed a paper and pen and poured down the outline of my first book. Still remember that day when entire night I couldn’t sleep thinking about the ‘if’s and but’s”, but I didn’t get bogged down and continued writing a series of book thereafter. (not published yet)
