The writer’s block I had to deal with in the course of getting this book written. It’s a pretty sad and dark phase and I even considered giving up.

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?

For my childhood, I’d go back to the 1970s Mumbai. As an adolescent, I’d take myself to London. I would love to spend my adult life in a village in Europe, where I’d have a huge farm and several pets and farm animals. I would then want to spend my silver years in Norway, with my dogs and cats.

Singing. I am a bathroom singer, but I really could use some talent and be able to sing in front of a crowd without doubting myself.

Which book you wish you had written ?

The Help.

I don’t have a fixed place. As long as the place is quite and has WiFi (for research purposes), I’m good.

Silence or music?

If I wish to escape reality, I choose music. If I'm amidst nature, I choose silence.

One phrase that you use most often?

I honestly don’t know. I can’t think of phrases that I use commonly, but you’ll hear me use “um”, “21” and “doggos” a lot.

Do you have a writing ritual / superstition?

Nope.

What’s your guilty reading pleasure?

Indian romance novels.

Do you have one sentence of advice for new writers?

As cliché as it may sound, please don’t give up half way. I bet you’ll know no joy greater than writing the last line of your book!

"Siddhi Kamble is a teenager who lives in Mumbai and has always found herself engrossed in writing - be it poems, articles, essays or short stories. Her other interests include Kathak and sketching. She is a proud student of one of India's most reputed colleges.
Her love for the English language inspired her to write a full-length novel. Having won prizes for her written works, she considered taking a step further and eventually ended up completing her first-ever novel at the age of 16. Being a student of both psychology and sociology helped in adding value to her words, as she takes a keen interest in societal problems and individual reactions to them. Driven by curiosity about different cultures and traditions practised all over the world, she conducted thorough research on the Kenyan ways of living in the course of writing this novel.

An admirer of classic novels and movies as well, they happened to have influenced her imagination. An ambivert by nature, she believes in embracing the beautiful being that one already is - and the novel deals with the very same concept. In order to convey the message of being comfortable in one’s own skin, she couldn't think of a better way than writing a book on the same.
