Tell us about yourself.

I enjoy immersing myself in literature, crafting verses that reflect my thoughts and emotions, and embarking on adventures to discover new places.

What are your goals?

Given my deep-seated passion for Science, I have decided to pursue the PCB (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) stream. This choice aligns perfectly with my academic interests and aspirations.

What is the process of your writing?

When approaching a specific topic, particularly one that holds personal significance, I find it beneficial to begin with a rough draft. This initial jotting down of ideas allows me to capture my thoughts and emotions as they naturally flow, without concern for structure or refinement. Once I have this rough draft, I reframe it carefully considering each element to ensure clarity, coherence, and depth. Having a robust vocabulary is instrumental in articulating my thoughts effectively, enabling me to convey my message.

Any specific challenge you face while writing?

Sometimes, I encounter moments of dissatisfaction with my writing, I seek assistance from trusted sources such as mentors, elders, or friends. Their valuable input and feedback provide fresh perspectives and insights that help me refine and improve my work. Embracing suggestions and feedback is essential as it enables me to identify areas for enhancement and implement constructive changes.

Are you an avid reader?

With my love for literature, particularly Jane Austen’s timeless works, and my active engagement with the enchanting Harry Potter series, I am eager to embark on my next writing endeavour. With an adoration for both classics and contemporary tales of wizardry, I’m excited to explore and share insights into the enduring appeal and cultural significance of the Harry Potter series in my upcoming article.
