The Literature Today: Tell us something about your book?
Author: ‘When the Soul Weaves’…….(Poems) is an  attempt by me taken up during the silence of lock down created by COVID-19 when I got the much needed leisure to pen down lines on few aspects like, ‘what is beauty in real sense’ how man was too small a creature in the presence of the invisible virus called corona. The book is a collection of my poems on themes close to my  soul from life, nature and spirituality based on self realisations.

The Literature Today: What encourages you to become an Author?

Author:
The aspiration to author a book was subtly there in me since a long time. My writings have always received appreciations from many quarters informally. The drive intensified when I got leisure at hand. The Pandemic  bestowed  the  much needed time-out  to focus on making it come true.

The Literature Today: What is your current goal in writing career?
Author:  This is the first volume of my book, I would like to publish a second volume of  ‘When the Soul weaves… (Poems)’ at a later date. I would also like to pen a book in Hindi in the near future and author many more books.

The Literature Today: The title seems different and catchy, how you decided it?
Author: My world of Spirituality has made me realise that , I am not this body and emotions but I am the soul living in this transient body with ephemeral emotions. So whatever thoughts that had flowed from my emotions as words had actually emanated from my soul. Since poetry is a rhythmic weaving of words , I thought the title, ‘When the Soul Weaves….(Poems) would be apt for my book.

The Literature Today: Are you writing other books as well, let us know about the same.
Author: I will be doing so in the near future.
