Here we get to know him more closely:
Nainika: Hi Akash, Congratulations for skipped heartbeats and Will you be my dirty secret. Coming to my first question:
Akash, having contributed in so many titles by Gargi Publishers, how would you rate Gargi on the scale of 10?
Akash: It’s definitely ten on ten. It’s been an amazing experience working with the team, and since the launch of Nitya Press, it’s been a roller coaster ride with coming-of-age anthologies.
Nainika: Please throw some light on your poem “Jouska”, “See You Soon” and, “Stardust” in “Skipped Heartbeats”.
Akash: “Jouska”, is about a crispy hypothetical conversation that plays in mind when I used to miss her.
“See You Soon”, is about the longing of meeting her while surviving the long-distance relationship.
“Stardust”, is about the journey of being with her and the separation.
Nainika: Which among the three is closest to your heart or you feel more relatable to your life?
Akash: All 3 of them are very close to me, since all have been penned down from my experiences! But still, ‘See You Soon’ is very close to me since it is about the promise of meeting her and the hope of better tomorrow.
Nainika: What according to you should be in a poem that makes it the best one?
Akash: For me it is all about the flow of emotion that soothes me with every stanza.
Nainika: How is this anthology different one from the pool of anthologies in market?
Akash: ‘Skipped Heartbeats’ is unique in its own way and stays true to its title.
Nainika: If you had to give one title to this based on your poems, other than Skipped Heartbeats, what it would be?
Akash: A tough one! ‘Skipped Heartbeats’ is the best title, but still, ‘Pillowtalk’ as a title is runner-up for me.
Nainika: Coming to “Will you be my dirty secret”, how was your experience writing erotica genre?
Akash: Being a lover of romance fiction, writing erotica genre was taking it all to next level. The effort of maintaining equilibrium between ‘romance’ and ‘erotica’ was a herculean task for me.
Nainika: Tell us something about your story, “Fort Valentine” in “Will you be my dirty secret”?
Akash: “Fort Valentine’ is an unconventional tale about undying love which sparks again when they bump onto each other.
Nainika: Who are the lead characters and which one is your favorite?
Akash: Lead characters are Nikita who is married to Pavan and Vinit, owner of Fort Valentine. Vinit will always be my favorite since he is resolute, may whatever happen.
Nainika: What was more difficult, writing poems for skipped heartbeats or writing Dare to Bare?
Akash: For me writing poems has always been difficult, while on other side writing erotica was a whole new experience. Erotica is totally new to me and my efforts shall be fruitful after hearing reviews from my readers.
Nainika: Which amongst both the books will you pick first for yourself as a reader?
Akash: As a reader I shall pick up “Will you be dirty little secret?”
Nainika: What would be your message for our readers?
Akash: Dear readers, as charity begins at home, so does ‘love’ begins with you. If you love and keep yourself happy, then only he/she will be able to feel the vibe and hold on to you.
Till then, Happy Reading! <3
Thanks a lot Nainika Gautam on having me for this amazing interview! Stay blessed!
