1. Tell us more about your background journey.

When I moved to Jaipur for my graduation, Sometimes in the evening I used to find me alone. I wanted to have a hobby to keep the poise in me alive. I used to do theatre in my schooling days but now since moving to college that was not possible plus I was hesitant, When Musically(now Tik Tok) came in, I got excited, Now mostly my evening would be jamming on the trending songs. Eventually, when the content in Tik Tok got diversified, I started doing acting and poetry videos. My poetry videos soon got viral, and that got me going serious.

2. When did you decide you wanted to be a writer?

Eventually, I got bored acting on mimicking other poets(shayars), so I started writing my own content. This started almost 1 year back.

3. Is it a financially stable career?

Well that depends on what people consider as "Financially Stable", for me being able to love what I do and be passionate about it while managing my own expenses is good enough for now. I feel that money is secondary, and satisfaction is primary.

4. Who is your favourite writer, and why?

My Favorite writer would be Rahat Indori Ji, He has a certain charisma and his words have a depth which not everyone can understand. His delivery is such that it would leave people in wonder.

5. Where does your inspiration lie?

I am not a perfect being, No one is. Sometimes I too feel disheartened when my hard work doesn't get the right recognition. What keeps me going is the heartful support from my fans, The messages they send me. Some people even go as far as saying that I have inspired them. This really gives me the courage to wipe my sweat and tears and keep moving forward.

6. What does your Typical Day Look Like?

I cook, I write, I shoot, I edit, I upload. Plus whenever I get time, I watch TV series and read books.

7. What piece of advice would you like to give to future aspiring writers?

I feel humbled while answering this question as I still am in what you can call as a struggling phase for creators. Though very profoundly I would urge the future creators that Don't do this for the money, Don't do this for the fame, Be Creative, Be Unique ... If The right amount of hard work is put, I am certain that one will achieve success. Though success too is very subjective.

8. Which is your favourite book, and why?

My favourite piece would be "Seven Habits of Highly Successful Person" by Steven R Covey, The books talks about points which may sound very general but if given a bit of focus, can impact your life in a very positive way.
