4. Where did you get the inspiration to start writing?.

My inspiration to start writing is my classroom and my textbook. Ok, so what happened was, I was attending a lecture last year but my mind was wandering somewhere else. We were actually reading fiction and suddenly at that point, it struck to me, why can't I just write something.
I was drowned into the fiction and started weaving my own story. I wasn't a good writer then but there was a sense of instantaneous excitement inside me that inspired me to write. Moreover, there are several writers in Wattpad, who now, inspires me like SweetyTeja ShonaLover, Fluer-de-cerisier Penfolk cutie_pixie123
I suggest one must try their works.

5. What is the thing you do in your leisure time?.

In my leisure time, I write scribblings or listen to songs.

6. What is the first work you wrote on this platform? What was the response you got for that work?

My first work was 'Beyond the ocean of love'. A short story it is. I got a good response from the readers.

7. What is your perspective on teenagers?

Teenage is a phase of life that every human being faces. Being a teen is not that easy but not that tough too. Sometimes, there are times when a teen feels confused about the things happening around him/her. A certain question arises inside the mind-Why, What, How?
But, it is life and ups and downs are part of life. But, it depends on every person how he/she enjoys that stage. Teenage is a stage full of fun and excitement too. My elders recall their childhood or teenage, where they tell me about how they learned many things through certain experiences, including some fun too. Also, I believe it is the stage where you will find many challenges about life, for the preparation ahead. If you haven't enjoyed teenage, you missed an important stage of life. It's about how much you grow from the storms that lay ahead.
Moreover, a stage where they want to get noticed. Where they need more love, freedom to do the things they love.

8. Is there any particular genre that you love to read?

I'm an ardent fan of romantic, mystery, and humor genre.

9. What are the favorite works either on Wattpad or outside which you read in one go or found them interesting?

There are certain works that took my heart on Wattpad. Few of them are :
Soft pillows by _Dolly_7
Cursed Love by ShonaLover
Beyond the horizon by Fluer-de-cerisier

Outside Wattpad,
Works of Sudha murti.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

10. What is the thing you see when you first glance at the book?

Cover. That's the soft target that attracts most of the readers and after that, I head to the prologue or the blurb.

11. What do you value the most in your life?

First of all, it's my family, Secondly, I value The Life I got, rather than cursing it.

12. What do you want to achieve in your lifetime?

My goal is to have 'Dr.' Infront of my name, with good experiences and degrees.
Well, other than that, as a hobby, I want to be a writer for my whole lifetime.

13. What ways did Wattpad help you? Did it help you increase your potential?

I would say a Lot! It really helped me a lot. I wanted to have a good hold on my mother tongue as well as English. Thus, Wattpad helped me to discover this new side of me, about which I was unaware and now I can, though I'm still not that good but I'm better than before. Also, It helped me to express my imaginations.

14. What are your expectations from readers?

One vote= One value. Hope you understand.
Moreover, their comments really help me a lot, since I can get an idea what readers want, what their perspective says, giving me an idea to craft my story into a better one.😊 smile

15. What do you enjoy being the most a reader or an author?

Mm.. Tough question though but... Since this is a choice I'll choose, being an author. Hmm...I realize now, choices changes with time. Haha...

16. Since how many years are you using Wattpad?

It's been 2 years. On 23rd September 2018, I joined.

17. Any short message to teenagers like you?

Hey Yo, Teens!! Clearing my throat and holding Mike
Live the Life you love. I mean the good one.
Nowadays, I saw many of my fellow companions, who actually feel defeated too early and often blame their parents for making them choose the career they never wanted to be a part of. First of all, Give them a clear message that you actually want to pursue what 'You' want. People in this world will go and come, giving you a lot of advice but at last, it's you who had to make decisions. Follow what you want and pursue as a career. Talk to your parents, rather than choosing pressure from their side.
It's about your happiness, first of all, then others. I don't mean being selfish but... Until and unless, you'll not be satisfied with yourself or will not keep yourself happy, how will you make others happy.

Moreover, I'm an ambivert and can't express myself, clearly in front of anyone. But that doesn't mean, I don't love myself. Being a teen, Love yourself, believe yourself...
I think I've ranted a lot 😄nervous smile.

18. What do you think plays a major role in teenager's lives? Society or friends?

Well, when a child starts to have his own group of circle, a mini version of his own society whether its school or home ambiance in the form of his friends, relatives, siblings, etc. affects him/her. We need someone to criticize us, and after that, we can only get to know, how we can change ourselves. It's not that society pinches us always but sometimes to know what and how reality is, it plays an important role. But that doesn't mean, that society should become a barrier in between our dreams and aspirations. Moreover, Friends, they are important. Very important. In this age, there are few things, that could only be shared with the ones who belong to our age. There comes our friends. Someone, who can understand us as we do to them.  In our lifetime, they play the most pivotal roles.
Both things have an important and different aspect of teenagers.

19. Is social media good for teenagers?

Social media is a good place for teens but only if it's kept within bounds. Life is beyond likes and comments. Enjoy Everything in life but Don't just lose yourself in the pool of media.  I liked the teenfix community's idea to spread social media's cons and pros through one of its work. I appreciate y'all for that.

20. Most of the teenagers make friends on many platforms. Do you think it is good or bad?

Hmm... It is good. To clear out the clouds of agony or to share what you feel, it's good to have them but.. we should take care of our privacy.  I've been friends with many of my fellow Wattpaders and that's great how I got to know about their culture, how they feel but at last, we should know the boundaries of the things to be shared.

21. Few words about our community.

B.E.S.T.
You all proved that Teamwork pays off. You guys are doing great work for teens as well as for all Wattpaders. I really love the new works you publish, with different ideas.

22. How did you feel giving us your interview? Do you want us to improve in any way or give any suggestions?

It is for the first time, I'm giving an interview. First of all, Thank you so much, for giving me this opportunity. It's been a great experience for me. I got to know more about me, through this interview. I could think beyond what I usually think.
You didn't leave anything that I could point out. Everything's amazing thumbs up.

23. You can ask me anything which is related to me or about our community?

How did you feel about taking the interview?

How does it feel for all the community members, when you work as a team?

I'm very glad to take your interview. Your answers are so adequate and very great.

We are all very close like a family and we love to work as a team and support each other.
