Today
@ Behind the book we have Ms. Tarang Sinha one of the author’s of the latest
book Uff Yeh Emotions – part 2.
A prolific blogger (You can read her as blog HERE )and previously published in leading magazines like
Women’s Era, Tarang ‘s writing has always been one that touches a chord with
the reader somewhere deep down making you mull about what you just read long
after you are done with reading her. She comes across as someone who would want
her writing to be more talked about rather than her. In conversation with her in
an attempt to know her in her own words:
Extending a
warm welcome to Reviews and Musings to you! It is a pleasure having you here
and thank you so much for your time. Let’s talk about your upcoming story in
Uff Yeh Emotions part 2. What is it about?
First of all, thank you so much for such lovely words for me! I
really like visiting your blogs regularly, so it’s an absolute pleasure being
here. UYE 2 is an emotional joyride where you’ll meet some beautiful
stories about love and relationships. But they are not just typical love
stories. It deals with many other sweet and special relationships that we
cherish and nurture in our lives. It’s different, embellished with myriads of
emotions!
Women and
women issues seem to be a central topic in most of your stories. Any specific
reason for that?
Nothing particular. It just comes naturally…:)
Being an
author, holding your book in your hands – how is the feeling? Is it a dream you
always saw since childhood?
Oh, it feels really good (You know that!) .
No, like many other children, I wanted to become so many things
but never a writer. It just happened accidently when I discovered flair of
writing in me. Few published creations encouraged me and I decided to chisel my
writing ability. Still, I know, I need to work hard on it.
Writing as
they say is a lonely journey. Any personal motto you would like to share with
budding authors that keeps you going through pursuing your passion for writing?
I somehow like the silent aura of solitude! And I need it
sometimes. If I talk about the motto, it would be “A deep desire to settle the
whirling ideas and imagination with ‘Pure Love’ for writing”.
Any
favourite author whom you idealize and why?
Can I say more than one name? Thanks for your permission! (I know
you’d have said a ‘yes!’)
In my childhood, I loved
reading SharatChanddra because I found his writing contemporary and quite ahead
of his time.Then, It’s Debbie Macomber! I like her delightful love stories and
characters, especially her hero! Sophie Kinsella for her humour and wit.Meghna Pant & Preeti Shenoy, for their light, contemporary,
and very identifiable stories & characters.And recently, I admired Michelle Cohen Corasanti for her beautiful,
inspirational and poignant writing style in The Almond Tree!
Apart from
writing what are the other things that keep you occupied, letting your creative
juices flow?
I think! No, seriously, there are rare of the rarest moments when
my always-occupied mind is free of thoughts. And recently, I have developed a deep desire to paint. However,
I’m very BAD at this stage, I’ve created a new blog to keep my interest alive!
It’s very satisfying (I think you know that… :) )
Tell us
something about Tarang the person which is different from Tarang the author
that you would want your readers to know.
Mmmm…I’m a science graduate, pursuing Diploma in creative Writing
from IGNOU (As I’ve realized that no matter how good you are, a certain degree
enhances the credibility of your work) .I’m an introvert and hardcore optimistic. Very patient and
unselfish (That I feel good about). I’m not at all straight forward that sometimes,
I wish I were. I prefer to stay at home with family, my writing, books, and yes,
internet! Am I praising myself too much?
If asked to
describe yourself in three words what would they be?
Optimistic. Trustworthy.
Understanding.
We
would love to know your future projects or any other books you might be working
on currently.
I think you
should not reveal two things you’re still working on, as you never know whether
you’re going to reach your destination or not.
First, You’re
writing a book
Second, you’re
on a mission of losing weight.
The path to
reach their destination is very very difficult and full of hurdles!
Guessed the
answer?
One
message that you would like to give to your readers and all those aspiring
authors who dream of being HERE someday,
having the title of author associated with their name.
I think, for
me it is premature as my writing career is at nascent stage. But still I would
like to say that published or not published, if you love writing, you’re a
writer. Never hesitate to call yourself a writer.
I’ve learned
that it takes a lot of hard work and patience to get published. You’ll have to
ignore some negative and discouraging remarks. Just stay focused and trust your
ability.
A huge thank you for sparing some of your precious time to be with
here today, we would like to wish you all the best for all your future endeavors.
My pleasure!
Thank you so much! I wish you all the very best!!:)
