What inspires you to write?
Words have power. Things you can't express by speaking, you can by writing. I remember a famous quote by Piyush Mishra "Sukoon milta hai do lafz kaagaz par utaar kar, cheenkh bhi leta hu or aawaz bhi nhi aati". Other than that, my constant motivation is derived from somewhere within. Since the time I remember I have a passion for literature and writing.

According to you, what are the things that have changed in Modern Literature?
Modern literature is easy, simpler, sometimes too much that it feels a little hollow. But many coming age authors are filling in big shoes and i look upto them. One of them is Nikita Gill and ofcourse the one and only Arundhati Roy.
If you get a chance, what changes would you like to make?
I would like to bring out the feminine side more in the stories. I love humor maybe that.
In this era of Artificial Intelligence, do you think an AI can takeover the writers career?
No
What message would you like to give to the budding writers?
Keep writing. The world needs more of us. More than ever.
