Tell us about yourself.
I am 10 years old, born and brought up in Delhi, and I have a twin who studies in the same school as me, which makes school life even more enjoyable. I am always eager to present more engaging and imaginative works to his readers in the future.
What inspired you to start writing at such a young age, and how did your first idea take shape?
My friend and I were discussing a few interesting topics, and I thought of writing them down in my diary. Then I explored if there was any platform online where I could take this further, and that’s when I found BriBooks. It gave me the opportunity to turn my ideas and research into a proper book with a title.
Your books explore very different themes. How do you choose what to write about?
I first wrote my book The Great Book About Cricket because cricket is my favourite sport and something I really enjoy. After it got published, I felt motivated to write another book, Guardians in Orbit: Mars Legacy, as I am also very curious about space and like exploring that topic.
A moment during your writing journey that felt challenging.
Honestly, I never really felt that writing my books was challenging. My family has been very supportive throughout the process, which made the experience smooth and enjoyable for me.
What does being a published author mean to you at this stage of your life?
It means a lot to me, and I feel proud to be acknowledged for my efforts. I am very happy that people are reading and liking my book, which encourages me to keep writing.
What kind of stories or ideas are you excited to explore next?
I am excited to explore more ideas related to galaxies and space, as it really interests me. At the same time, I would also like to try writing about new and different topics in the future.
