Q1. What is the first book that made you cry?

> Lucid Dream by Swati Singhal.


Q2. Do you think someone could be a writer if they don’t feel emotions strongly?

> I wouldn't say an outright no. Maybe their approach toward writing a story would be radically different from mine. Perhaps they can come up with more stats and deeper research into a plot than a lot of writers usually offer. They might even be better non-fiction writers.


Q3. What is the most unethical practice in the publishing industry?

> Taking loads of money in the name of publishing a book while also giving out meagre royalty amounts.


Q4. What’s your favorite under-appreciated novel?

> A Thing Beyond Forever by Novoneel Chakraborty (Can't tell if it's really under-appreciated).

Q5. How do you select the names of your characters?

> Based on the nature of the characters and also that of the plot.

Q6. If you didn’t write, what would you do for work?

> I'd love to paint (maybe also something to do with traveling) for a living.

Q7. Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few people will find?

> I hide secrets (nothing to do with the flow of the story though) that no one but only I myself can find. * haha*


Q8. Do you Google yourself?

> Sometimes, especially after I have published a new book.
