My grandfather always encouraged me to write and I was taking major interest in creative writing since 2011. Later I began writing professionally for different media in 2016. I debuted as an author in 2017.

 

2.       Why Children’s books? Do you write any other genre?

3.       What are your goals as a children’s author?

I want to pen down as many stories as I can. I want my stories to reach to a child living in the most remote town as well. My goal is to be global and make the stories available for every child for them to grow and learn more every day.

The author’s style is both formal and informal. It closely connects to the intended audience with unabridged metaphors and picturesque imagery. The language of the author is not only understandable, but also provides more scope for young children to learn new words, phrases and meanings. The stories are convincing, and realistic. They do not seem fictitious and easily fit in today’s world.

The most impacting lines from the book are quoted as, “I understood that some things take time, but when we work towards it diligently, it’s unobstructed. Win it or lose it, don’t forget to try hard until you fetch it.”
