“I focused on something that is relatable to everyone, and Love I thought was highly relatable for obvious reasons. Secondly, in the case of Cycle, everyone knows the process of how a child learns cycling by listening to stories or witnessing it. This gave me an assurity that relatability was really high in Cycle. The process of leaning cycle and life lessons’ fusion was much appreciated. But yes, the pressure is still building on.
11. As we at The MagZone promote budding writers, what message would you like to convey to them?
“I firmly believe this that everyone is a potential writer. Who is a writer? It’s simply a person who observes and pens it down. And I believe that every person carries certain beliefs. With faith in yourself, write about love, friendship, family, the house or perhaps the environment around you. But write it with full honesty. If you’re gonna put honesty in your work, it’s gonna rock. “
