The author you will meet today is an IT professional who is admittedly on a voyage to self-discovery through writing. I have always thought that writing is akin to meditation and so I completely understand. Her writing mainly revolve around the freedom, equality and empowerment of women. She also is exploring life through travel and the life lessons learnt in the process. 

Rashmi Jain is a warm, friendly and sweet person. But her words are so powerful that they hit you hard. In her book, ‘Be Wild Again’ (Superb title I thought!), she shares her angst about our patriarchal system but also pushes you to fight it. I asked Rashmi who inspires her writing. You will have to read the interview to know the answer!

Today I have the privilege of sharing an interview with one of the finest budding poets I have come across. I remember reading each poem and wondering ‘How beautiful! How profound!’ I would picture it all very clearly and I would nearly always get goosebumps at the end of each poem because the words moved me in the most wonderful way. 

 Namratha Varadharajan or Namy as she is fondly known, has written an incredible collection of poems each of which is an ode to an important social organization, movement or cause. ‘Because Someone Had To Say It’ is idealistic but not preachy. The book puts the spotlight on important issues but not in an attention-grabbing way. 

As a lover of poetry, I took this opportunity to ask Namy about her thoughts on the genre. And her answers surely helped me appreciate it so much more. My favourite part of the interview? When I asked her if she could be a season, which one she could be and she replied in verse!! 🙂 

This mom, wife and talented writer’s ideal day would include ginger tea, her family, petrichor and a delectable book. Time to get to know Namy better!

I usually lack the patience to cook elaborate meals. Truth be told, patience is something I do not possess at all! Everything should have taken place yesterday! For somebody like me, a book that has recipes for creating healthy home-cooks dishes in under 30 minutes is a big boon! Today you are going to meet the author of this incredible book, ‘Healthy Recipe Cookbook’.

Deepa Gandhi is a Freelance Dietician and a Writer. Deepa also writes about parenting, health & travel. She shares her experiences as a mom and as a nutritionist in her blog www.kreativemommy.com. Her first book, ‘Parenting Tips & Tricks’ was born out of her own parenting journey of raising two young girls. She credits her children for her current book as well. I asked Deepa about her favourite recipe from the book and the one guilty pleasure she allows herself. These and several other tidbits about the author are revealed further in the interview. 

She identifies herself as a writer. So whether it is mommy posts or digital media strategy, brand endorsement or her recent attempts at fiction, she is quite comfortable, as long as she is writing. The author may have started writing to rant, but then realized that it could be a medium to establish herself as a brand. Now she rants with her friends when – wait for it – she wants to get rid of writing block! 🙂 I am sure you will have fun getting to know this writer through this free-wheeling interview.
