Q.When did you start your writing?
A.Well, the journey of life is unstoppable in every knowing aspect. In different stages of developing life, we focus on how to change the conditions of life, and we put efforts for owning the peak of success accordingly.
The journey of my life originates from the hub of Islamic and science pearls namely ( JAMIA SIRAJ UL ULOOM) Imamsahib Shopian. Properly, I started writing in 2019 at the age of 13th. And I will remember this always that, the most exhilarating experience of my life was a journey into the writing world.
Q.What compelled you to write?
A.I was raised in a family of educators. Reading and writing was natural to me for growing up and support of friends were backbone for me.
When I got admission in JSU, I feel that I am the only one who is strange and alone in the whole world. During that time, I try to be innovative and read consciously—every kind of book you can imagine for a 10-year old boy. Family, friends, and even relatives I have never regretted to be far with these abstractions. While sitting in the library of Jamia my elder brothers were discussing on the life of great researchers and writers. That things and discussing motivations inspired me to be a writer. All praises and prayers go to the support and encouragement given by everyone especially the best thanks for the Library of JSU.
Q.What are the closest things upon which you write?
A.I haven’t specific vision upon which I can hold my pen. But maintaining the confidential view I mostly write on the social issues, self-thoughts, ideas of imagination also on the blossoms of Islam.
Q.What motivates you to read?
A.Well, for me motivation is an art of appearance. Through which the things come true and easy because motivation is a proven ability in a thing which we want to do. Being knowing the facts and making the soul able in every aspect the things which kept me back, motivate me to read most!
Q.What kind of messages do you convey through your writing?
A.Ok, behind every script which I pen down, there is an informative moral which brings awareness to society. In most of the articles, I share my opinions on Women’s empowerment, self-esteem and almost all views on social issues. I always want to figure out the soul from unawareness into the transparent belief.
Q. How do you feel when you write?
A.Well, writing things isn’t easy, it takes lot of efforts, writing is an envelope of hidden secrets.
I always motivate my Conscious soul while writing, and I believe in my words that at any point I am achieving particularity from rest. I figure out my thoughts from the imagination to the appearance, so that everyone can mean and deal with day to day life. Writing on things gives me a smile of happiness and I will continue it till my end !
Q.Do you think writing makes us innovative?
A.I got my first newspaper Kashmir Rays when I was 17 and, from that moment, everything just flowed into a life of writing.
Well, this is the case of my initial journey that writing makes us innovative, yes. When I was young I mean innocent in knowing the perfections and rejections. The seniors of subjects and their words makes me inspired while sharing new idea’s, new experiences, new handles of digitalization. Same is here, as writers inform us with new purposes of daily living. I agree with this as my beginning makes me a proud owner of myself, it’s only by my writing skills.
To write something it needs thoughts and experience, it doesn’t depend on the genre. But it’s an artistic expression which forms to choose from expectation. I mostly prefer to write poetry because it owes a new decorative lightning in the stanzas with my views. I think so.
Q.Does your family support you in this field?
A.Proudly, my parents and my family are the backbones of my strength and courage. They encourage my life at every step and try to make me the best, they put their efforts when there is need for support. They show me the differentiation between real and wrong and lift me to achieve the peak. All these deeds and prayers of my care’s make me able to word with myself that I will never end the units of the spar. I wish the parent’s aid will always be with me.
Q.What does the title “Quiet Soul” mean?
A.Well, that’s an explanation of my strange life. The quiet soul is a collection of memories from darkness to the blooming phases of life. Quiet soul is a pack of motives and ways, which I faced in my innovative life.
Q.Can you tell me about the book?
“Quiet Soul” is a collection of feelings that I faced in different phases of life.
Every content of this Book is a reality that happened with me during the crucial hours of life.
The way of writing this book conflicts me with my soul so that I could figure out the barriers of expression. Every chapter of this Book is a real happening that I gave a paper look.
This book is a mixture of both poem and prose, in which I tried to explain the moments of my life and happenings that happened with me.
The title of the book is a contraction of every notion which depicts a beam of real appearance in this book.
“Quiet Soul” is not only a paper looking book, but its my memory which I used to light up with strange fate.
“ AIMING FOR WORLD RECORDS “.
Q.What inspired you to write this book?
A.As you know that I am a writer by profession. But while writing this book, there is no direct support which help me to write the book. I wish that my emotions could get a look on paper and I did it. But while writing this book I gain support from many budding supporters. My inspirations are only the ways where I grew up that are my Care’s.
Q.What advice do you have for writers?
A.Thanks for everything, honestly I am not much able for advising the inspiring writers and powerful youth. But we should keep this in our every sense that life isn’t a means of joy and entertainment but it’s a game of puzzles where we have to prove the best and best. Being a hard worker is easy for everyone but playing the events of life is tough as much as living life without essentials. Every being is blessed with a hidden art, and this art will wake up when we step into the world of competition. I wish we all should lift the most impressive things with different shapes and tales so that life will spread the perfumes of hardworking.
“It was a pleasure meeting you. I appreciate your time today. Thanks for a great conversation hope you enjoy the rest of your day.”
