What was your first ever write up?
It is hard to pin-point when these events started, as far as I remember it was somewhere in the year 2015 when I first began to spill the fragments of my psyche on paper. I started working on two Subjects consecutively, one of them was a ‘Comparative study between Pneumonia & Tuberculosis’ which surprisingly got me a distinction in Phthisiology in Russia & the other was ‘My Dream Journal’.

The Internal Chaos, Human Beings & the Fractured way of Life.

Any upcoming books or publication?
Posthumous Publications sound Fascinating!
What is your best written line?
Don’t fight the Darkness & Chaos inside you, embrace it. We may be black, white, yellow, red, green, pink, or even Rainbow, you need to accept yourself first, make peace with your insecurities, know your flaws & strengths, and understand your significance in this world. Do this before you expect your parents to accept you, and your friends to respect you & do this before you expect society to understand your worth.

If you could turn back the time and talk to your 18-year old self, what would you tell him/her?
Probably offer me/him/it a glass of Whiskey with a fading smile.
Who do you look up to the most?
My Parents.
What superpower do you wish that you had?
GOD or the Devil... it gets confusing at times.
According to you, what are the things that have changed in Modern Literature?
Humans write to impress, they are writing to get famous, make money & convince themselves that they fit in the norms of Society. The passion, the fragments of Freewill & fearlessness are fading away with the disintegrating Matrix.
If you get a chance, what changes would you like to make?
I believe that it is too late for this now.
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?
Observe the threads of all the events happening around you, observe the details, and think about how they affect you and how you react to them.
Do you have any recommendation for readers?
Try to read all the Religious Literature, & read at least 30 pages of anything everyday.
