Born and raised in India, Jai now resides in London, where his multicultural experiences enrich his writing.

Let’s talk with Author: Swapna Peri: What initially inspired you to pursue a career in writing, and how did your passion for storytelling develop over time? Can you share how your life and perspectives have evolved since becoming an author? Jai Prakash Arora: My first writing was a four-line poem I wrote in May 2018, but it wasn’t a sudden inspiration. I have been developing the seed for my writing for a long time, and various factors have influenced them since childhood. As an introvert with many unspoken thoughts and ideas, I found it challenging to articulate my stories. The transition from thoughts to words was a hurdle I struggled to overcome, a battle many aspiring writers can relate to. Reluctant to share my inner world with others, I hesitated to put words to paper. In college, I developed the habit of reading. Starting with a self-help book, I later delved into fictional novels. These stories’ immersive characters and plots became my first inspiration. They ignited a passion for the world of imagination and the charm of crafting a tale that readers are eager to believe and live. My interest in creating characters and stories was born. My goal was to write about a life I had never experienced or craft a story about an ordinary individual to something extraordinary that would be difficult to achieve otherwise. Later, while working as a software engineer, I encountered a colleague who was a writer for a local newspaper. I drew some inspiration from him and thought, “Why not me if he could write?” My only shortcoming was the courage to pick up a pen and write it. I started writing minor posts and articles on social media and other platforms here and there, but that wasn’t the start of my writing. It took me another four to five years to write my first-ever poem in 2018, which was the beginning of my writing journey. I remember reading those four lines almost fifty times. Since then, I have been eager to write many stories and have had ideas to share, and I have never stopped. I started writing regularly but needed direction, so I joined a two-month creative writing course in Mumbai. I learned a lot about the writing process. The same year, I self-published my first novel. If I had known that writing is such a classic and beautiful way of expressing yourself to the world, I would have begun much earlier. Writing changed the world for me. It allowed me to delve deep into my thoughts and ideas and learn more about myself, life, and the surrounding people. It helped me expand my horizon of knowledge, inspiration, and understanding of the values of life. Writing has been a means of self-expression and a powerful tool for personal growth, helping me become more reflective, empathetic, and understanding of the human experience. I have written two fictional novels and dozens of short stories. Writing has allowed me to learn and share my stories and ideas with others. It has also allowed me to live life again and again in different ways and develop it in bolder, more aware, and happier manners, both rationally and emotionally. The joy of sharing my stories with the world is unparalleled. Swapna Peri: A Girl of Valour is a compelling crime fiction thriller with a strong emotional core. What drew you to the crime fiction genre, and how do you ensure that your stories stand out in a genre known for its suspense and intrigue? Jai Prakash Arora: A Girl of Valour is more than crime fiction; it is more of a mystery. It depicts the events that led to many situations in the life of a protagonist and her family, who had taken a long ride to bring their lives into a pool of still water rather than a flowing river. The suspense of the episodes in the protagonist’s life makes it stand out, leading her to uncover hidden facts about life and past events. The story creates a series of circumstances where a web of affairs, a vulnerability hits the life of people around the protagonist, and that produces the revelation of suspense, which could be both a jittery ride with the life of the protagonist while she surviving the affliction in her life and around. Even as the reader follows the story’s narration and is deeply connected with the characters, it gives them a thrilling phenomenon. It intrigues their core belief, and the story reveals the truth

Interview with Satish K Chowdary Author of the book: Two Decades For The Kiss
About The Author: Satish Chandra Chowdary KANITHI, a mechanical engineer and an alumnus of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, commenced his career in the corporate world like many of his peers. However, amidst his corporate endeavors, he discovered a passion for storytelling, particularly while engaging in volunteer activities with various NGOs. It was during these experiences that he found his voice as a writer, leading him to pen his debut novel, “Two Decades for the Kiss”. Alongside his engineering background, Satish is also a marketing expert, blending technical expertise with creative flair in his writing. Beyond his literary pursuits, he finds solace in his interests, which include traveling, horse riding, and yoga. Through his debut work and beyond, Satish aims to inspire and captivate readers with his imaginative storytelling. Let’s Talk with Author: Congratulations on your debut book. Swapna Peri: Can you tell our readers about yourself and when did you realize you wanted to write? Satish K Chowdary: I develop a passion for writing at a young age, often influenced by their upbringing and experiences. It’s especially meaningful when that passion is shared within the family, like your connection with your mom. Growing up in an environment that values and nurtures creativity can have a profound impact on one’s desire to write. My mom’s influence may have played a significant role in fuelling this passion, whether through encouragement, sharing her own love for writing, or simply providing a supportive environment where creativity thrives and writing can be a powerful way to express thoughts, emotions, and ideas, and it often becomes a passion for those who enjoy crafting words and creating narratives. Swapna Peri: Your characters, Hashira and Sanjay, share a profound friendship at the core of your novel. How did you develop and portray their relationship to resonate with readers, and were there any real-life inspirations behind their dynamic? Satish K Chowdary: In developing the relationship between Hashira and Sanjay, I drew inspiration from various sources to ensure their bond felt authentic and resonated with readers. Firstly, I explored the dynamics of real-life friendships that I’ve observed or experienced personally. This allowed me to capture the nuances of trust and mutual understanding that define deep friendships. While Hashira and Sanjay are fictional characters, I also incorporated elements from my own friendships and meaningful relationships. Drawing from personal experiences allowed me to inject genuine emotions and experiences into their interactions, making their friendship feel organic and compelling. Overall, the key to portraying Hashira and Sanjay’s friendship was balancing authenticity with creativity, drawing from real-life inspirations while also allowing room for the unique dynamics and challenges that arise in a fictional narrative. Swapna Peri: The setting of Japan’s cultural backdrop plays a significant role in your book which is rare in Indian books. Can you share how you approached researching and incorporating these cultural elements into your narrative, and what aspects of Japanese culture influenced the story? Satish K Chowdary: Japanese culture influenced various aspects of the story, including character behaviours, societal expectations, interpersonal dynamics, and thematic elements. For example, concepts such as honour, respect for elders, the value of tradition, and the contrast between modernity and tradition may have played significant roles in shaping character motivations and plot developments. While it was important to stay true to cultural authenticity, I also ensured that these elements seamlessly integrated into the narrative without overwhelming or distracting readers. The goal was to create a rich, immersive experience that transported readers to the cultural backdrop while keeping the story engaging and relatable. Swapna Peri: How did you balance crafting vivid scenes with advancing the plot, and what techniques do you use to evoke strong emotions in your readers? Satish K Chowdary: I focused on selecting scenes that not only painted a vivid picture but also served to advance the plot or develop characters. Each scene was chosen purposefully to contribute to the overall story arc and keep the narrative momentum moving forward. Strong emotions often stem from authentic character experiences and interactions. I developed well-rounded characters with distinct personalities, motivations, and internal conflicts. By delving deep into their emotions and reactions within the scenes, I aimed to evoke empathy and resonance in readers. I varied the pacing of scenes to create a dynamic rhythm that kept readers engaged. Tension-building techniques such as cliffhangers, conflicts, and unexpected twists were strategically used to evoke strong emotions and keep readers invested in the plot and I crafted scenes that tapped into universal themes and experiences, making it easier for readers to empathize with the characters and emotionally invest in their journey. Themes like love, loss, friendship, and personal growth can evoke powerful emotions when portrayed authentically. Swapna Peri: Why and what made you choose to explore the themes of resilience, forgiveness, and human relationship’s particular themes, and what message or takeaway do you hope readers will gain from Hashira and Sanjay’s journey? Satish K Chowdary: Resilience is a theme that resonates with many people as it addresses the ability to overcome adversity and bounce back from challenges. I chose to explore resilience because it reflects the human experience of facing hardships, setbacks, and obstacles, yet finding the strength to persevere and grow stronger through those experiences. Hashira and Sanjay’s journey showcases resilience as they navigate difficult situations, learn from their struggles, and emerge as stronger individuals. Human relationships are at the heart of many stories because they are central to the human experience. I explored various types of relationships such as friendships, family dynamics, romantic connections, and mentorship to depict the complexities, joys, and challenges inherent in human interactions. Hashira and Sanjay’s journey delves into the dynamics of their friendship, highlighting themes of trust, loyalty, mutual support, and growth. Swapna Peri: Who is your favourite character to write, and why? Alternatively, if choosing a favourite character is challenging, which character demands the most attention and detail from you as a writer? Satish K Chowdary: One such character is Hashira, who is complex and multi-dimensional. Hashira’s journey involves
