‘The Feeling of being loved’ is a story of the importance of love in a person’s life but it is not a love story as the name might suggest . It’s more of an expression pointing out how love is not optional. Shruti is the lead character in the story and the story revolves around the decisions she takes by her distracted mind.
4 - What inspired you to write this book?
This book is not inspired by one person, instead I found the bits and chunks of this story from many people around me. The only thing common in all the chunks was love. So yes, Love inspired me to write this book.
