What is writing to you?

Writing is the means through which I exist in a world of my own creation, traveling across time to imaginary locales to live a thousand lives in my finite years.

I would love to write a memoir later in life.

If we challenge you to write a book of another genre we suggest, then would you take it up?

It would to depend on the genre.

Writing is a reality that paints a beautiful fantasy. What do you think are the charms of writing fiction/non fictional books?

There are many authors who just started their journey and many readers who want to write but have no courage to do so. Please give them a tip and a word of encouragement.

Don't take yourself so seriously. If you want to write, then do it. You don't owe anyone perfection. Life is too short not to do the things you want to do.

No, I haven't, but I'm always open to the possibility.
