I am just a debutant and I might fail miserably at this new venture of mine, but we all fail at some point of our lives. So my advice to you would be “go out there and take the bull by the horns and do not worry about failing”. Failing at something is just a process which teaches us how to get better and ‘win’. Never back down from trying something new in life. It always opens up a scope to learn something new, perhaps a new idea that is worthy enough to take you that extra mile.
I have learnt a lot of things, valuable lessons while writing this book, one of which being genuine enough to portray a story for what it is rather than manipulating it and making it unrealistic. I as an author always had faith in my work. I was turned down by numerous publishers and that’s when I realized how difficult it is to become a published author. In the mean time I started writing blogs and creating a profile for myself as a freelance writer. After almost 2 years of long wait, finally I got an opportunity to present my work in front of the millions. A good story, a good enough profile, trust in my work no matter what people said, a never dying attitude and a lot of ‘Patience’ are some of the valuable lessons that I have incubated in myself during this whole new venture of mine. In the end of the day, being an author feels good, but it’s the journey that matters the most.
About the Author:
Dhruba Das Roy is a freelance writer, a musician by passion, and a software engineer by profession. He is from Assam, but born in a small town of Meghalaya, where he finished his schooling. He then obtained his degree in engineering from the esteemed college of National Institute of Technology. He discovered his love for music there and was the lead vocalist of his band, “The Rozarts”.
He loves rock and roll and is a great fan of the pioneers of rock and roll-(Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen and the list goes on).Unfortunately, as engineering life came to an end, the band had to split. Recently, he moved to Kolkata where he is working in one of leading software service based companies in India.
Not everyone can put their thoughts into words. Dhruba had never tried his hand in writing; but he had an experience, an experience which changed his life for the better. Being a vocalist, his only way of expression was through the creative way. He decided to pen down his thoughts and he discovered that writing came naturally to him. His thought process in the novel relates to the general mass in many ways. He decided to stretch his limits and ended up voicing his thoughts in a different way this time.
“Oh God, why me?”
