Hello everyone,
Today I am going to introduce you to the author of 'Universal Poems'

Let's start!

(1) First of all introduce yourself to our readers:

Ans: I am born and brought up at Hyderabad, India.I am a retired Public Sector Enterprise (Government of India - Department of Atomic Energy), Private Secretary Hyderabad  India, for 24 Years.

Worked in Engineering and Management Colleges  as Training Manager for 6 years. Also worked at few NGOs. I am a prolific writer right from my young age. It is a passion for me to write, write and write.
I am the Founder of POETIC CHARMINAR (An English Literary, Arts, Cultural, Poetic and Research Academy), a FB Group, and has its presence in more than 100+ Countries.

(2) Throw some light on your books:

Ans: I have written and published some books through Become Shakespeare Publishers published my Three Books ie.,
Lady Police (2018), The Doctor and Ghosts (2018) and Universal Poems (2019). These are with ISBN code Nos. The support given by the Mumbai (Maharashtra State) of India Publishers Become Shakespeare, in my above books release tremendous. The speed in which this Publisher has worked-out the publication process pertaining to my books are so meticulous and organized in well planned. And even the staff of Become Shakespeare have extended to me full timely support in completion of my Publishing Projects.

I have few more books (around 10) ready for publication and hopefully published before end of 2020 year.

(3) Are all the books of same genre or different?

Ans: All my books genre are quite different.

(4) Which genre you enjoyed the most?

Ans: Really speaking I enjoyed Stories type genre, which covers family, love, crime Investigation, horror, thrilling suspense etc. Even I enjoyed Poems genre.

(5) Did you always want to become a writer?

Ans: Yes. My passion is to write. I was always writing something or the other. I got inspired from great Authors/Writers/Poets. Once upon a time, when I was quite young, I was thinking to become a big writer like famous and well-known writers, in those days. Since then I had developed a curse to write and write, something or the other, poems or stories or narration of scenaries, and whatever I get to my mind I used to put it on paper.
Actually my forefathers and grand mothers were good writers. Even my mother (now no more) has written 1350 Poems in Telugu version on Shri Shiridi Saibaba. So, that writing part also influenced me to become a writer.

(6) How do you handle negative feed-backs?

Ans: Wow. Whenever I post something in any social media, I get some negative feed-back. Readers are God's. They criticise. Without criticisms on the work there is no thrill. Criticising something on some posts are definitely needed to set the things right in future writings. I take negative feed-backs as righter perspective angle without any hesitation. Even few well established Authors made severe critics in my writings. But I took their feedback and corrected myself, though there was a pinch to my heart. If it is good feed-back, my heart and soul feels happy. In one way Feed--back from Readers, may be negative or good, are essentially be taken by the Writer/Author in good spirit.

(7) Are you planning other booth? How soon can your readers expect your next books?

Ans:  Yes. Of course I am ready with my other books content for immediate publication prices. May be, Become Shakespeare take up my Ten Books publication immediately and complete before end of December 2020. But, the things are getting delayed due to Corona COVID19 Lock-down. Hopefully, publication process could start anytime during July, 2020. I am too eager to complete my books publishing project on Gate-dash basis. All my Readers will have too books content from me and as I observed that my works were appreciated by good number of Authors and Poets fr all-over-the-world. A little bit time and patience are needed from my Readers fory further books.

(8) How has your Journey as an Author?

Ans: My journey as an Author and Poet is moving on a crocodile pace. The Author or Writer or any Poet expects some cash realisations for his/her books/works. The cash in-flow to Authors/Poets will become a motivational aspect. But, as I observed most writers never get substantial cash proceeds for their work. Only few writers could get good amounts. This we I tu field is such. Writers, in the first instance, to write their works as Passion only without anticipating any cash. This is my opinion and my experience. Only thing is that Writers should have good patience. Even I received around 25 Certificates from Global Poetic organisation's. I too received Honorary Doctorate in Literature given by an Institution from Brazil. Just satisfied myself with these Honour and Certificates.

(9) Who is your favorite India Author?

Ans: My favorite India Author is Mr. Chetan Bhagat. I got inspired to write by seeing his books. I read his books. He writes well. His books sold like hot-cake. So I concentrated more on writing thinking that my books also would be sold like hot-cake. But the trend became different. I am myself and Chetan Bhagat is Chetan Bhagat. No comparison please. But, I like to try and Try till my last breath. Success or failure it all depends in the Authors/Writers/Poets/Poetesses hardwork and Luck. One will shine in one's own turn. This is my thinking philosophy.

10) Any message for your readers?

Ans: Yes. Readers have to read all the books of all the authors, including my books, give feed-back, good or bad. This will make the righter understand where his work was bad and had negative impact. So, the writer will correct. Even readers also to write ferociously. No problem. Readers are God's. Without a Reader, there is no Writer or Author.  As such, every reader to give his/her feedback on the books. This will make the writer a Perfect Author or a Perfect Poet/Poetess. Even bad feedback is altruistic Okay. This is a writing and Literary field. All these negative feedbacks are essential.

Thanks for reading.
