Writing has been my first love since high school days. During this time, I was creatively engaged in writing small plays for a local group of theatre enthusiasts in my hometown Jabalpur of which I was also a member. Seeing my stories coming alive on the platform of theatre and small adulations coming my way encouraged me a lot. My father saw this streak in me and helped me realize for the first time that I wanted to write. I continued penning short plays, stories and poems as I grew up and finished graduation but never got to publish these. Those were not the days of internet explosion and therefore no one except for my close family and a few friends, knew of my desire to write and reach out to a wider audience.
