Long walks and tea! Meditation comes handy, I many times get answers to my blocks while meditating.

Don’t be scared! When I started writing, I wasted a lot of time thinking what will happen to the book? Will I find a publisher? How will people react? After losing some good amount of time, I realised, it is just my fear. It doesn’t matter if you’ll find a publisher or how people will react to your book. All that matters is that you WRITE! You create a book and put it out there, rest will follow. Trust me!

Since forever, I have wanted to write books! I had already started on a book idea, it was about a serial killer (which I am very fond of and it’s my current WIP) but then something beautiful happened. We all are familiar with that voice inside us that guides us at junctures we need the utmost help. And sometimes it helps us when we don’t even realise that we need some guidance.
I can never forget that beautiful moment when I was engrossed watching Babubali and Prabhas was on screen. It was that moment when the same voice inside me, the voice which I believe came from my soul and whispered in my ear, ‘Lalsa, your first book cannot be about a serial killer, it has to be a love story’ and I knew that I will blindly follow that voice.
The result is Brahmakamal: Love Story of a Devdasi
