Author Interview with Nafiesa

Image
  1. What inspired you to write this book? The Unsaid is a collection of poetry over the last few years. I’ve always had this hidden treasure in my diary, but the last year (pandemic) taught me a lot about the uncertainties of life. Hence I decided to give these expressions a face and collate them in a book so that they can live forever. 2. Can you tell me about the book? The Unsaid as the name says talks about the Unsaid emotions and expressions formed in poetry. The book takes you to a beautiful journey of a soul from the mother's womb to life to love to pain and spirituality.  3. What surprised you the most? I was surprised by the way the book turned out so beautiful expressing the pains and joy that one goes through. There is pain and joy in love, in life, in birth and death.  The relationship of pain and joy is like two sides of a coin. You can’t have either of them, you need to experience both in any phase of life and that’s the beauty of it. Without pain, you can’t...

You have an impressive bio with a stronghold in all the fields. Which is your favorite field and why? πŸ’« My favorite field is Astronomy and Star Gazing. I like this because it connects me with my childhood memories when we kids used to sleep on the terrace and used to watch stars and wonder what they were.
