It’s time for another author interview. Today, with us, we have Geetika Saigal, she lives in New Delhi, India. Kindly tell us a bit about you. Oh damn! Readers may stop reading this article after this first question! You see, I’m just another girl – happy childhood, crazy warm family, tones of memories, usual confusions of youth, typical chasing-success career, a fair number of ‘successes’ and some grave ‘mis-hits… But if there’s one thing about me, it’s that I’ve always taken life head-on and tried so whilst being myself. Sometimes, I realize that only after a while of getting lost in the maddening race of life, but eventually it becomes clear to me that life is a race and I don’t want to come first in…I don’t want to reach the end…I want to cherish and squeeze everything possible from every single moment and day I live it. That’s me in a nutshell – brutally honest, tad-bit sarcastic, fair bit opinionated, easy to be around, difficult to manage, impossible to forget. ...

It’s time for another author interview. Today, with us, we have Vijay Sodhi, he lives in London, England. Kindly tell us a bit about you. I’d always been a really fortunate person. I grew up in Nigeria, West Africa where I was exposed to people from every part of the world. I had a loving family and parents who raised me well. Instilling in me a confidence that I could achieve whatever I set my mind to and the importance of contributing to society. When I was 15, I threw all that out of the window and went off the rails. You name it, I did it. For 3 years I was lost in the wilderness of not knowing who I was. One day I was pulled in front of my headmasters office. He couldn’t believe I had fallen so far. He spoke quietly and with just a few words, he manifested a force that I had never experienced before. It was as if he shone a mirror into a deep part of my soul, I was reminded who I had been and who I’d become. From that moment I pledged I’d be a better person. In f...

It’s time for another author interview. Today, with us, we have Sadhna Shanker, she lives in New Delhi, India. Kindly tell us a bit about you. I am a writer by passion and longing, however in my day job I am a civil servant. With a 25 year old daughter, I am at the phase of life where one starts looking again at one’s own aspirations. I love traveling and I think it is one thing that enhances and strengthens the story teller in a person. As a student, I dabbled in acting, hosting, anchoring etc. on Doordarshan, but with a full time job, I focused my creative instincts towards writing. It is something one can do at one’s own pace and time. I am a PhD by education, and have always kept my learning alive. These days when I have time I do short courses on EdX that interest me.

It’s time for another author interview. Today, with us, we have Shuchi Singh Kalra, holding conversation about her third novel, A Cage of Desires . She lives in New Delhi, India. Kindly tell us a bit about you? I'm Shuchi, author of two romantic comedies - 'Done with Men' and 'I'm big. So what?!'. I am also the wife of an Army Officer, the mother of a pint size daughter, and two lazy cats. I'm also a wine connoisseur, baking enthusiast, a restless traveller and a compulsive nomad.  I'm a sucker for funny romance and I think my best writing happens when I'm surrounded either by mountains or the ocean. I used to run a quaint writing and editing studio and currently I'm in a full time corporate job. When not doing any of the above, I love engaging with people on social media and inflicting my opinions on random strangers. I love creating quirky craft work when I get some time to myself and I am also a hoarder of eccentric fashion acc...

It was not accepted but I received a very encouraging note from the editor, Rosalind Wilson. My third atte...
