"With Leena and Shibani"

Thanks for the friendly invitation, for having a taste of tea when it spreads on you, while spilling from the hands of our friends!!

Thanks, Appy, Leena and Shiba, for giving me such a great opportunity.

I firmly believe that --- Where there’s tea, there’s hope!

Someone said passionately -- Friends are like Tea, we don’t know our own strength until we’re in hot water amidst them!

What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?

I think my writing quirk is a mix of eccentric, eclectic, divergent, unalike, with full of nature's varying expressions, with a really sophisticated feminine silhouette! Whether it is a mythological narrative or a social event, feminism dominates the center of the theme. If I prefer to write a comical story, it will be like a riot of confusion and a multidimensional pattern of human temperaments. My sense of humor is always going to be decidedly quirky.

If you were to publish one of your stories as a novel, which one would that be, and why?

Definitely it will be -- Together We Are Timeless

With passion, dedication and some sort of fulfillment of my dream, I wrote this. It's so special to me because my imagination is at its highest level while writing it. I had to develop a story around a single line -- Radha loves Krishna, for whom she has waited her whole life! It's like tapasya, ( penance) for me defining her love.

I tried to define her in-depth feelings from an inquisitively different angle, in the light of philosophical, psychological, and of course within the mythological ambit. For me, she is strong enough to guide and teach Lord Krishna, to define the Theory of Karma, the Bhagavad Gita.

In many ways, its very special, nearer to my heart... because ....

While participating in this contest, first time Appy met me!! Hmn... here is a point, not me, Appy met me first time! Though sounds strange, there is an interesting story behind that!

What do you like to do when you're not writing?

Many things I normally do ...listen to old songs, read a classic or a political drama, sitting on a window sill swaying my legs casually, in between, loves to look at the blue sky with moving cirrus clouds, in between ,indulges into a dream of running in the paddy fields, talking with trees and flowers (which I usually do frequently in my backyard, guards and my kids know that, now they stopped paying attention) while doing all this, kids play a vital role in their own way!

If you were to insert yourself in the universe of any novel, which one would that be?

I'd love to insert myself in the universe of Louisa May Alcott's Jo March from Little Women, who is smart, impulsive, argumentative, and willing to do anything for her near and dear ones, even cut all of her hair off to raise some cash! And obviously, she's a writer, so that's awesome.

Do you have any suggestions for the writers on IF? If so, what are they?

Keep a writing schedule and be as disciplined as you can about keeping your writing appointments with yourself. This will help ensure a steady stream of story ideas.

I prefer to suggest to all the IF writers that it doesn’t matter if you write realist fiction set in contemporary London or futuristic sci-fi set in a Mars colony. Create believable characters who have credible motivations, flaws, immersive settings and realistic tensions and conflicts and your fiction will feel believable.

Please realize that you are capable of creating and showcasing multiple worlds with your words.

If you are cold, tea will warm you;

if you are too heated, it will cool you;

If you are depressed, it will cheer you;

If you are excited, it will calm you.
