And today I guess I am more known for this creative use of pen rather than academic.

14. Anything Else You want to say to the readers?
A Doing something creative had been always in my mind and was my passion from very childhood, but studies and making a career was my first priority as it was my family dreams!! So to do something creative was left behind just as an unfulfilled dream. But clearing CA in July 2011 puts an end to the era of studies and marked a start to the era where I was free to fulfil this dream.
I had been writing since childhood but just raw lines, they were never heard by anyone so I never took them seriously but they were very special to me, but then someone special came in my life who was the first person to recognise some depth and beauty in my writings, she was my best friend, she always used to appreciate my writings and storytelling capabilities, In order to make her smile one day I narrated an imaginary love story to her, which was liked by her a lot and it was then that she asked me to convert it into a book, and this was the starting of a 1 year 7 months and 10 days journey of my writing a book – A Love Story.
When I opened a MS Word document on October 26, 2011, I just had a story in my mind to write but how to write, from where to start and where to end, I just didn’t have any idea. It seemed to be a big challenge for me, I started writing it just as a hobby to fulfil my passion but it eventually with the passage of time, some creativity, and obvious a little hard effort converted into a beautiful piece of literature.
And today I am feeling to be in Seventh cloud and glad to let you all know that my book titled as Me “N” Her – A Strange Feeling has reached to its 1st destination and the most important one, it has been selected by a leading publishing Company to be published by them, it was though selected some 3 weeks back but I waited for the right time to officially announce it, I signed the contract with them last week and now I am an Author.
It really feels very nice to wait to see your manuscript converting into a novel but this happiness is nothing if not enjoyed with peers of my society, and so I invite you all to be a part of my happiness.
