My First Sensible Interaction in Gym

-

It’s not my time to make new friends because I don’t trust people easily anymore. But yesterday, I interacted with a woman in my Gym. She comes everyday in the evening with her daughter as her daughter needs to shed some extra fats. We all were cycling together so she asked me 'why do I come to Gym?'. I told her to keep myself super active and also I love being healthy. Then one layer of conversation led to another and I realized we both have one thing in common i.e. Writing.

She is writing her first book that too in Hindi. She was feeling hesitated to share this as people are more inclined to read in English but I told her write your heart-out in the language in which you can give your best shot. She instantly asked for my Instagram handle which I shared and checked her posts too. She writes well and I don’t think so she wouldn’t do great in Hindi language. I personally believe language is just a way to interact else people who cannot speak interact amongst themselves too. It’s all in the mind.

Later, she started the topic of being a house wife too. Her friends look at her with an empathetic mindset as she is raising a daughter and taking care of household chores. I have entirely different view on this because housewives are not sitting idle at home. They do more work than women who work in the office. Earning money is not the only aim to be peaceful in life. Some people are earning quite well still they aren’t happy. Money never brings happiness nor do even people. It depends on us what we are seeking and for what we are seeking it in the first place.

I know which novel I would read next and that is You by Caroline Kepnes . As I finished off watching first season of You on Netflix, I am going bonkers over its second season. I binged watched this series and I would spill some beans from the first season as it was so intriguing and captivating. I am wondering what would it be like to read the novel by drawing a big chart on my whiteboard which I did while reading The Godfather by Mario Puzo . That book made me cry for days and it was like my world ended with its last chapter. Likewise, I am glued to You because of Joe and I believe no character would have been so powerful what he played on the screen.  Joe’s role as a bookstore manager in New York stayed longer than I expected in my mind because of the mindful conversations he played in his mind while being a stalker to the girls he fantasize about or wish to date. Guinevere Beck, an upcoming writer, broke as hell, sweet and sassy, fall prey of his words and first conversati

Life doesn’t stop amazing and amusing me at times. On 23 rd December, I was asking to take a final call on my book publishing from a friend who is already an author. Her name is Sana Rose and her book Sandcastles I read and reviewed too. She was suggesting me how publishing goes for poetry and fiction book. She came up with a name called Big Foot Publications . I immediately looked for the information on their website and called on the given number appeared on the screen. I spoke to Deepak Yadav (yes, the owner of Big Foot Publications). He told me how poetry books don’t do well in India but if I still want to go ahead, I can come up with 3 poems as sample along with my author bio. At that point of time, I didn’t know who I spoke with and I gave my book for publishing to a different publisher. In real, Blue Rose was my first publisher so I gave my book to them for poetry genre. For fiction, I would look for more publishers I guess so.  Coming to the book: Daughters of the

Book: Sandcastles Author: Sana Rose  Last year, I completed reading Sandcastles and it was my 40 th book of the year. It took quite a while to settle down in my mind. This was for the second time I read a book while interacting with author at the same time. It means a lot to me because these interactions evoke some sort of deeper emotions into me which I wouldn't have felt otherwise. Also, these interactions inspire me to write down my own book and become more dedicated to the writing regime. Coming to the book, Sandcastles is about courage, strength and never giving-up attitude of three girls who turned into women of spirit and character with their ongoing struggles and hardships. I loved Ria for her kindness and compassionate attitude. I loved Trisha for her strong spirit and taking a plunge on raising her kids all alone. I loved Selena for giving up her own dreams and living a life of single mother (which sincerely demands a lot of patience and love in heart)
