Author's Interview with Sumanta Barooah.
I am Senior Citizen. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to travel extensively around the world. With a personal interest in people, culture, cuisine of the countries I spent time in either for work or for travel, I came across many many people and willingly and unwillingly had enchanting adventures. I believe in people, their origins and culture since I lived with them, rather than seeing from a Hotel window. It had broadened my outlook of life. Now I have the time to write my stories, some memoir based mostly fictional.
China is a vast country and the people away from the Megacities are very simple and full of empathy. Religion and beliefs still exist and the normal way of life exists. I met and heard innumerable stories of success and despair in the expansionism occurring in China; mostly sad. People who make it lost their humane nature.
It is a story about a pastoral girl who is trying to live a normal ordained life but destiny has other plans for her.
It is about people. And people make this world.
Between planning and writing about 2 years
An insight into Chinese life, their culture, cuisine, history.
5th book coming next month

Author's Interview with Anmol.
My name is Anmol. I am a Data Scientist with one of the world’s Largest Audit Firms. I am an Engineer by education; an Artist, a Writer and a father by choice.
I think it was my work. As a Data Scientist, I am always questioned; can your predictions be made more accurate; and a thought would always pop-up - "It's a Time Traveler can predict better than a Data Scientist." That thought later became an inspiration.
It's a story of a superhero who can leave his body and travel the universe as a soul. But in the real world, he is just an ordinary human being. He is fighting against a powerful soul-reaper who wants to enslave mankind and can even enter dreams of individuals and manipulate them.
I believe Astral Travel and Time Travel as scientific concepts may exist someday with a strong influence of mankind as we know it.
It took me 2 Years to conceptualize and another year to write and review.
A construct that may be existing even now and we may not be aware of it. What if I told you that there are people on this planet that can leave their body and travel the universe as a soul, they can travel both forward and backward in time. Some manipulate the world for their own selfish interest & a few devour themselves with the responsibility to harmonize and protect the world. The question is, are you sure such people don’t exist?
The Second book "Time Guard - Reborn" is going to be a prequel to the first part. The first part was about the protagonist "Arjun" and his awakening to be a superhero. The second part will be about the main anti-protagonist "Hirath" and how he manipulates individuals in their dreams to work for him.
I did. In fact, several times and the best way to deal with it were to take a break. Completely disconnect from the book. I believe the ideas flow-in when the mind is not stressed. It did work for me and I believe it might work for others in creative fields as well.
I can sketch with good precision. All sketches in the book are by me.
Grateful and Honored.

Author's Interview with Cynthia.
My name is Cynthia and I decided to emigrate to London when I was 23 years old in the pursuit of exploring my ambitions and find myself. Today, six years later, I feel that I know exactly who I am and who I aspire to be. I am now a qualified teacher, which is the career that I love and I am also an author.
I have loads of stories written and I knew that one day I would publish a book. But during the lockdown this year I found my diary where I used to vent about some parts of my life in this country. That made me emotional and I wished I could go back in time and give some advice to that fragile and young me, so I decided to grab my laptop to type it all in. I sent drafts to some people to give me feedback, and I realized that it can help young women going through the same situations, to see a similar story from the outside, and reflect about what they would say to that woman, and therefore what they would say to themselves. So, two months later, it became a book.
The book is really a diary. We read memoirs and we love it. But this one is exactly what was going on in my head and heart at the time it was written, and I tried my best to keep the original version. It is about a young, messy and loving girl that was struggling to thrive in a country that was all new to her, while living a love story that was consuming her. She loved with all her heart. And that’s okay, because that’s what love should be. But that love was making her blind for everything around her. She couldn’t see how toxic it was, how ‘impossible’ it was, and how bad it was being for her mental health. But still she doesn’t regret it, because she knows it was real and made her grow. It made her discover herself and realise what true love is. It gave her wisdom and courage. It almost made her lose herself, but she found herself instead and learned to love herself more. I talk about it on the third person because I’m not her anymore. That’s a chapter that’s closed, but I’m glad it happened because it made me a better person.
Someone told me to rewrite the story in the third person and pretend that it was fiction because it contains many personal things. But I think that readers can connect with the story more when it’s real, so I decided to be brave and publish the real version - an unusual, but beautiful memoir.
I wrote it during these last six years. However, when I was writing it, it was not a book, but a merely messy diary. When I typed in on the laptop and made the necessary changes, it took me about two weeks. Then, to review it many times, to be proofread by a professional editor, cover decisions and design, it took me about two months to have it completed.
There are many books that demonstrate ‘forbidden love’ stories that has to do with class or something supernatural, but I have not seen many that shows how culture and religious differences can have a huge impact on the relationships. I believe that it should not be a problem if both are accepting and flexible, but it still happens nowadays. When I was reading my diary, I visualised it as a Netflix movie, and I was immediately sure that many people would relate to it. I think that the fact of being in someone else’s head and be able to make our own judgements about it, makes it special. But also, it is special because it’s real and genuine. I loved that many readers trusted me to share their stories with me and discuss about it openly. That was the goal! It is not a self-help book, but it definitely encourages self-love.
I am already working on it, but as I need to be focused on teaching now and on my new goals, it will take more time to be ready to publish. This time will be fiction, which is something that I am passionate about. I’ve always wanted to be a screen-writer, so who knows? I love where my imagination takes me.
I didn’t have a block because it was all already on my diary. But I did have times that I had to stop writing because I was feeling loads of emotions and it was making me anxious. It was a process of healing and forgiveness. I don’t know if it happens with every writer that retell their own story, but it takes courage to publish something like that. The tip I would give would be to make a pause, relax, read other books, and find inspiration. Then, when you’re ready, go back and put those thoughts on the paper. There’s no rush. The story will flow when it needs to be.
I like to read and sing. Everything that involves music and inspirational words really makes me happy, and you can see in my book that music is really important to me. I also like fashion, things involving social justice and I love being around nature either having ‘Me’ time or with the company of people that I like to be around with.
It was good to rethink about my book after two months of being published. As I moved forward from that chapter of my life, it does not hurt anymore talking about my past, so it is a great feeling! Thank you for allowing me to do this.

Sunshine Town by Maniissh Aroraa
The Blurb:
Shlok, a lanky teenager and a daydreamer, doesn’t want much from his life. He dreams about making his parents happy and winning the affection of a neighborhood sweetheart, Natasha. Though both are poles apart, their interests bring them close. Together, they experience new emotions. But, just when they are ready to acknowledge their feelings, it is too late.
The rapids of life set Shlok on an unexpected journey, where he realizes that one can’t always be in control of one’s own circumstances. Unable to crack an important entrance exam and because of the geographical difficulties affecting his love life, Shlok’s life goes through turbulent times.
All the while, his faith in God ebbs and flows, but like a wave, it ends up breaking on the shore before returning to the sea. He is confronted with a perennial question—am I good enough for anything? Holding a mirror to himself, he is faced with the decision to give up on everything he thought was right for him.
Set in Varanasi, a city in North India, during the late 90s, before the pervasiveness of technology, Sunshine Town is about the aspirations and emotional turmoil of being a teenager. The story deals with the themes of love, career, and personal fulfillment.
The Story:
The story starts with Shlok meets Yana after a long time at the airport and coincidently they are both boarding the same flight to Boston. Shlok was more than happy to travel with an old friend and to catch up with life and Yana seemed pleased too.
So the story continues with Shlok and Yana remembering old college days, where after graduation Shlok focused more on his career and lost the touch with all his friends including Yana. Being traveling for hours and hours Shlok rests on the plant and drifts into the past memories.
Later the story continues from present or past, from school mischief to exam preparation, from hard work to complications, from school to college, from friendship to love, from career to life-changing decisions, from love and support to surprises, the story turns into an amazing story. A journey of a boy that will fascinate you.
My Take:
Sunshine Town is the debut novel written by Maniissh Aroraa and it’s a delightful read.
The story starts with a pleasant meet of two friends after years, and the author Maniissh Aroraa has expressed it gracefully. I liked how the author has thought of everything, from talking to ourselves to overthinking. I liked how it shows the deep meaning behind it and how with time we accept things even if it's beyond our control.
The highlight of the book is that the author Maniissh Aroraa has portrayed each character with care and in detail. The Bonds and relationship between the characters are expressed with emotions that I love reading. The dialogues shared between them is also done impressively.
While reading I felt this story was moving on a slow phase but by the end of the book it was clear that every part of the book is important. The plot is simple and yet intriguing that will make you curious to know what happened next.
Overall an interesting book. I will recommend others to read as well and if you want to read the journey of a boy then click here and read now the book Sunshine Town by Maniissh Aroraa.
