Over the years I have learned to be more patient and calm. I am a short tempered person and I now can control the anger quiet well and I feel its my greatest achievement till date.

High point of your life?

The period of writing a book is wonderful but that moment when I am about to reach the part of the book because of which I chose the character in the first place is just so exciting. Nothing makes me more happy than writing that one scene which made me choose the character of the book.

Your epitaph would read? /Last line in your biography would be?

"Her virtues exceeded her failings"

If you had a time machine to take you back to any country and any time period, where would you choose to be for your childhood, adolosent , adult life and silver years?

I would go back to ancient India be a proto history period person working in a bangle making factory in Harrappa all my life. It sounds a little stupid and I seriously do not know why I want this but that is how I would use the time machine.

If you could acquire any talent, what would it be?

I would want to acquire the talent of playing polo, I really feel it required practice but also talent so I would really want this one talent.

Which book you wish you had written ?

Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility are two novels I wish I had written.

When and where do you write ?

"There is never a fixed time for me to write. There are times when there are these ideas coming in and then I can write two or three chapters in just an hour. Talking about where, I usually write in my balcony or my room. I usually prefer silent places with a lot of plants and with a lot of natural lighting."

Silence or music?

Silence

One phrase that you use most often?

"I know right!"

Do you have a writing ritual / superstition?

No superstition but I like burning dhoop near my table where I write. It has become kind of a ritual for years now.

What’s your guilty reading pleasure?

Dreame aap is for these cringe romance novels and for some reason even after being not a fan of romcoms I love reading the books there.

Do you have one sentence of advice for new writers?

Being new myself, I would just say that it takes time and patience and if it's a calling it will happen.

I am Sanskriti Singh, an eighteen-year-old student and author of two books "Ram's Sister: True Scion of Raghu" and "The Flawed Good Man". My first book is from a self-publishing platform. I have been quite a regular writer in the regional daily "The Shillong Times" and "The Meghalaya Times". I have written many book reviews as well as articles in the same newspaper. Many of my items have been praised by prominent mythologists on the country, like Dr Devdutt Pattaniak and Mrs Kavita Kane. Jean Sasson, the famous author of books like Desert Royal, Princess Trilogy and many more followed me on social media and also viewed my review of her book. I have been studying the Hindu epics, Vedas, Puranas and other Hindu texts. I have also received various prizes for national-level writing competitions previously. I was also selected to speak in the program organized by the United Nations Organisation called "Save the Girl Child" last year. The speech incorporated as a part of the compilations they made to display in one of UNO's events.
