Here are some excerpts from an interview Author Rajeev Ranjan gave to Himani Vashishta.
Congratulations on becoming
the best- selling author of the book ‘A SPLASH OF LOVE A KISS OF INFATUATION’.
How excited are you after becoming the best-selling author with
your first novel?
Very excited. When I wrote this
novel I had my apprehension about how people will like it. It is slightly off
beat story against the current trend of books in market. But I am happy that
people liked it and responded to it.
Tell us about yourself?
I
am a serving Government officer for last 15 years. Writing came to me as a
skill bestowed by God, though I was very late to realize it. I believe in good
positive living and thoughts. Reading books, playing games and spending time
with kids and friends fascinate me.
What is the best thing about being a published author?
The
best thing about being a published author is probably that you don’t have
to keep knocking at door with your work. That in itself is a big relief. But
after being published you wish that your work is appreciated, liked and above
all is able to change something in its readers.
Tell something about your second book ‘LOVE@INTERNET’?
Love@internet
is based on a simple plot. It has internet as background that acts as a
catalyst for generating love in hearts placed separately on globe. Though it
sounds like a chicklit but it tries to dwell upon some serious issues as well.
The need of family, its support, need of communication and above all the purity
of love.
Did you have a target readership in mind while writing this
book?
Although the name suggests this
book to be youth oriented but it shall be liked by all the people. Moreover I
firmly believe that an author cannot have a target audience in mind when he or
she scribbles emotions.
Who are your favourite
authors? What kind of books you read?
Chetan Bhagat, Khalid
Hossini. I tend to read all kind of books but in particular, biographies
and romantic novels excite me more.
How do you rate your
experience with your publisher?
My
publishers have been good to me and I am thankful to them for imposing faith in
my work.
What is your future plan? What’s next?
I
am working on my new novel that covers aspects of human relations and their
purity with infidelity as background.
Any message for Himani Vashishta’s Diary
readers...
I wish them all the best. Keep reading
and keep smiling for there is nothing as entertaining as reading a good book.
Thank you Rajeev Ji for your time. Wish you all the best for
your future works.
Regards
Himani Vashishta
