What was your favorite book as a child?
A collection of Punjabi short stories.
What was the original reason or motivation why you started writing creatively?
The easiest way of entertaining myself. And the realisation that I could express myself in few words.
What was the most adventurous or thrilling thing you ever did/experienced?
There is nothing like most adventurous. Every adventure is intense in its moment. One is replaced by another. It's more like a chain of thrills that make your life exciting.
Do you listen to music while reading or writing?
I listen to instrumemtal music since it's a free play of meanings unlike words that distract you with their structured associations.
