Author Interview : Sudha Sikrawar

Author Interview : Sudha Sikrawar

Hello everyone,
Today I am going to introduce you to the author of 'Threshold' and 'Chand Saanwala Hai'

Let's start!

Q1. What is your book about?
A: I have written 4 books – Chand Sanwla Hai, Threshold, Vihangini, and Vihangini – a soul. But when we talk about Threshold, it is an English translation of my Hindi book – Chand Sanwala Hai, through which I have tried to explain the real events of life become stories. But I always believe that the stories we read do not turn into the reality of our lives.

Q2. What inspired you to write this book?
A: All the events that happened in my life – big or small, excited my mind, and inspired me to write these stories.

Q3. What do you hope your readers take away from this book?
A: I believe that whatever we learn from a book, stays with us for a small period of time. I mean, we have read such great stories in Panchtantra but as we grew up, the lessons didn’t stay with us for life. I would ask my readers to read my book just as another novel and I would love to know if they could mirror any of the stories with an incident in their life.

Q4. Is writing your full-time career? Or would you like it to be?
A: I always used to write for the sake of my hobby and it was something really close to me. So, I finally decided to make this my full-time job and I aim to keep writing, forever.

Q5. What was your dream job when you were younger?
A: “Trees bear fruits only to be eaten by others; the fields grow grains, but they are consumed by the world. Cows give milk, but she doesn’t drink it herself – that is left to others. Clouds send rain only to quench the parched earth. In such giving, there is little space for selfishness.”
– Munshi Premchand
And so, I always aimed to be a person who was good and believed in the power of giving. I wanted to become a good doctor and serve people in remote areas. It was my father’s dream as well, for me.

Thanks for reading.
