AUTHOR INTERVIEW - DINESH VEERA

-



1. Can you briefly introduce yourself 

 💫 Hello! My name is Dinesh Veera. I am a 29 year old medical doctor, mythological story teller and yoga enthusiast.


2. As a child, what was your aim ?

 💫 To be very honest, I wanted to a superhuman with superpowers. But as I grow, I understood that its not going to happen. 


3. Did your parents support your career in writing? 

💫 Not really. My father still thinks that I am wasting my time by writing novels. He wants me to use that time to advance in my medical field. 


4. Which is your favourite genre and why ?

 💫 Mythology because its full of creativity and imagination. 


5. What made you to write this book?

 💫 The deep interest to share my knowledge about Yoga and Indian Mythology in an engaging way to our Indian readers, made me to write this book.


6. How long does it take you to write a book ?

 💫 It depends on the type of the book that one is writing. A complicated book such as Shiva Origins will easily take between 2 to 3 years to complete. Where else a lighter book with a straight forward storyline can be written within shorter time frame (less than 6 months).


7. How would you like to explain shortly about your book?

 💫 It is a revolutionary book that tries to redefine the mythology surrounding Lord Shiva.


8. What are you planning to write next?

 💫 I am already working on 2 big novels and halfway done with them. The novels are, Shiva Origins 2: The Lost Legacy and Krishna Prophecy. 


9. What do you like to do in your leisure time?

 💫 I like to watch good movies or play chess with  strong opponents.


10. Does writing energizes or exhaust you?

 💫 It does both. I feel energized at the beginning and exhausted when it’s about to end.


11. What advice do you have for budding writers?

 💫 To be honest, the writing field is getting very competitive especially in India. If you want to be a successful author and make a life out of writing then you must be having a good strategy to break into the bestseller categories. I write mainly mythology books; thus, my advice will be more helpful for any newbie authors planning to explore the mythology genre. I have 3 suggestions for them. Firstly, think of a fresh and impactful storyline for the book. Then write the story in an engaging way as possible with multiple rounds of editing. Lastly create an excellent novel cover and focus on the marketing.


12. What message do you intend to send out to your readers through this book?

 💫 Shiva Origins- The Son of Ganga is written with the aim to deliver an adventure that will excite you, amaze you and make you rethink about our great Indian legacy that our ancestors left behind for us. I hope the readers will really like the book and support the work.

They were forced to live together against their will which they hated the most....

  *Title: Echoes of Loss and Longing Through Verses: A Look into Whispers of the Blue Ghost by Pratikshya Panda* In Whispers of the Blue Ghost, Pratikshya Panda invites readers to step quietly into a landscape shaped by memory, longing, and the ever-shifting contours of loss.

At the heart of each poem in this book lies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth. Pratikshya’s poems do not overwhelm with complex language or abstract metaphors.
