Life has a strange way of connecting you with people. I got the opportunity
to speak to Ms. Sonika Niti, the author of Khwahisheen a few days ago. I put
across a few questions that readers might want to know about her. The answers
were crisp and said a lot about this simple lady who notices little things in
life and captures them in her poems. I wish her all the best with her first book
and look forward to reading more of her poems in the future!
How long have you been writing
poems?
Well
I think I loved writing since I was a child in school, though I became
serious about it only in the last four years.
What inspires you to write?
The
main source of inspiration for me is life itself, the twists and turns in life
deeply inspire me and hence I write about them.
I love the title – What made you
choose it?
Well
I'm glad you liked the name. Most of my Verses revolve around a wish and of the
hope it takes to fulfill it and hence I couldn't think of a more suitable name.
Tell us a little more about your
book…
The
book is divided into two parts - poems and Shayari. All of them are written in
simple Hindi and Urdu and are the result of my thoughts and feelings.
Who is your favorite poet?
I deeply adore Shri Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Gulzar. Their work continue to
inspire me.
How would you describe yourself?
I
am an amateur poet who still has a long way to go, but I believe that a poem
should be the result of a person's own thoughts and feelings.
Are you working on any other
project? If yes, please tell us a little about it.
Yes,
I am working on another project but I would like to keep it a surprise for
now.
How was your experience with the
publishers?
My
publishers were very cooperative and creative and I enjoyed working with them.
What advice would you like to give
budding poets?
My
advice would be to write what you feel and be true to yourself.
What are your future plans?
My
plan is to dig deeper into Hindi literature and discover more about
writing.
