1. What inspired you to start writing?
Writing is hugely cathartic, and many people are inspired to write when they are feeling at their most emotional state of mind. I feel, writing is the act of simply letting your stream of consciousness spill onto the paper. Writing while overwhelmed or after a challenging event can help release feelings and thoughts which you feel to share with others.
I don't know why, since my childhood I'd love to write. Not only that, but I was so eager to write something, so used to write a few chaklies and jalebies, just to fill the papers. Everyone at home used to hid their pens, pencils and chalks from me! 😭They appointed a teacher to teach me alphabets to keep me occupied.😃
My parents are lawyers, when they speak with their clients, sometimes they used to ask the clerk uncle to bring some books to their table. As a 3/4-year-old kid, I used to take those heavy books from his hands, to carry with great difficulty, embracing those books to carry up to their table. At that time, I dreamed of writing such books when I was a bit bigger, after growing up like Mom and Dad! 😃
2. What was the first story written by you on IF? Will you share the link?
In those days , I used to follow Pratyusha Banerjee serials, after watching her BV serial, started liking her acting prowess.
In a way , I can say, this is my first write up. Please don't laugh! 😳 ---- A Glare from the Mil, a wail from the Dil ...how long it will go on? ---https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/hum-hain-na/4267555/a-glare-from-the-mil-a-wail-from-the-dil-how-long-it-will-go-on
If you ask for an OS, then here is the link , it's atrocious and quite immaturity at it's peak !!!
The Relentless Love .OS ----- https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/hum-hain-na/4276936/the-relentless-love-os
It was a mediocre serial, only to support Prats, we used to write something there!
3. Have you ever face a writer's block? How do you tackle it?
Many times! Writer's block may have several causes. Some are creative problems that originate within an author's work itself. Its such a painful condition to any writer.... it's like an overwhelming feeling of being stuck in the writing process without the ability to move forward and write anything new.
To overcome it ...write anything. ..don't expect a good work from yourself, don't think about your past glory. Just start afresh, let your subconscious do the work...then see, look at the screen ...there ..there you'll find a beautiful piece of writing, if not today, may be tomorrow, but definitely you can and you will! Writing means creative ability, which must be an inherent quality , it won't allow you to sit aside to be silent! Trust me. It's a forceful waterfall, you can't control, it'll jump to touch the paper/comp screen.
4. What do you do when you aren't writing?
Love to listen to old songs, dreaming and thinking.
5. If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?
Just write like a freelancer, as I did at that time. I'd tell to myself that ...learn to use concrete imagery when writing about large, abstract themes. First write a synopsis then follow your thought process.
