Q.1 Tell us something about yourself not many people know?
A. When I was growing up, I saw my family members choosing routine professions like I have four sisters, three sisters have chosen IT field, and one sister had chosen bureaucratic line like my father. So I wanted to do something different, and I followed my heart to become a writer. Today, I am happy that I am doing something different, which takes up lots of courage, unlike following the hoard.
My father was a safe player and couldn’t think beyond regular jobs. Being self-employed or doing something different was beyond his understanding. Besides, I find bureaucrats highly corrupt and dishonest, which is generally against the values of a writer, the reason I never wanted to go into government job.
