I'm currently working on a sci-fi book. I'm putting my best into it. I hope one day, it will be one among the world sci-fi classics!!

I personally think the best thing about being a writer is that everything that comes to my mind can be told to the world. It is just like having someone to talk to all the time- but just that in this case, that 'someone' is the global community of book-readers. Even if the idea is completely nonsensical and preposterous, it can come under nonsense literature!!!😃

There is a ghost behind every person's back. And people die when the ghost finally decides to feed on the person's life.

When I read fantasy books, I totally forget the outside world, and just enter the author's world. In this way, the author literally 'bends' my mind. If you think about it, it's quite amazing and seems so magical an incident. I wanted to do that magic too. That thought drove me to start writing my story.

Aspiring writers out there- there's no advice from my side! The reason for this is simple. The whole process of writing is about imagination. Advice for writing restricts imagination. For example, if I say "Don't crack jokes in a serious event of a story" to an author, he'd probably stop doing that. But, what if he's good at cracking jokes, and what if the joke, when inserted, makes the scene much better to read? Then, his skill will be wasted. That's why, I tell all of the writers out there- "Do what your mind tells you. Never care what others tell you, until you are satisfied with their opinion!".
