The cadence of years have passed,

Almighty perpetual time hasn’t downhearted me,

I am still stunned with your love.

Interview with Nidhi Parikh- by Nainika Gautam

Nidhi Parikh, an avid reader by nature and a copywriter by profession. More than that, she is a rider on the journey of becoming a passionate writer and a poet.

There she got a platform to express her views and thoughts in the form of punch lines, jingles, and short stories.

Here we get to know her closely:

Nainika: Poetry or Prose, which one do you find more difficult to write?

Nidhi: Both Poetry and Prose are different forms of writing. Poetry is the evocation of feelings or expressing most emotional moment in rhythmic, artistic manner using fancy yet limited words whereas prose is elaborated way of describing an incident or, a scene or, an emotional moment using simple and modest language. Ultimately, it’s all about how beautifully and effectively one can play with words.

Nainika: And which among both reaches close to readers’ heart more?

Nidhi: Though the poetry is succinct way of expressing thoughts, but it’s depth of emotions that has a profound effect on reader’s heart. 

Nainika: What is the best part of a poem?

Nidhi: The best part of a poem is the truest emotions hidden in each word.

Nainika: Throw some light on your poem, “Let My Hear beat”, in Skipped Heartbeats.

Nidhi: “Let My Heart Beat” poem divulges one of the most common emotions of one’s life – “Distance” or “Separation”. It’s about how does one feels when his or her partner is far away or leave him/her alone in the journey of life. 

Nainika: Throw some light on your poem, “Paint Me”, in Moonlit Matine-4.

Nidhi: “Paint Me” poem says that before it gets too late one should confess and express his/her feeling to loved ones.

Nainika: Both these books are compilation of love tales and poems, is it the genre you feel most comfortable with?

Nidhi: Certainly, the genre suits me the most.

Nainika: Which amongst the two is closest to your heart or you feel more relatable to your life?

Nidhi: It is always difficult for a writer to pick/choose. Both “Paint Me” and “Let My Heart Beat” are close to my heart and somewhere is connected to my life. 

Nainika: What according to you should be in a poem that makes it the best one?

Nidhi: According to me, it’s the choice and flow of words used in conveying emotions.

Nainika: How is this anthology different one from the pool of anthologies in market?

Nidhi: What makes this anthology different for me is my association with Gargi Publishers. 

Nainika: If you had to give one title to this based on your poems, other than Skipped Heartbeats, what it would be?

Nidhi: Hidden Colors of Love

Nainika: Nidhi, my last question would be a task actually, I’m giving you five words, you have to give a message in form of poetry to our readers using those words, so your five words are, “unerringly, trust, anticipation, ideal and veracity”.

Nidhi:

Her hazy mind,

Antsy, tire, and dire,

Unerringly anticipates for

Veracity of vision

To find some land of trust

In his parched and barren heart 

Where she can sow seeds 

Of an ideal relationship.

To read his story, “The Formidable Foe” in Its all about dogs and bitches order your copy today from here: Amazon

Nainika: Hi Kumar, first of all congratulations for another feather in your cap “It's all about dogs and bitches”. Coming to my first question:

Please tell us something about yourself.

Kumar: Thanks Nainika for the compliment. Now to answer to your first question. Well I'm a postgraduate in English Literature from Meerut University. I'm a state government officer by profession and a writer by heart.

Nainika: You have been a part of so many anthologies and theme was never the one we have for “It’s all about dogs and bitches”, so how was your experience writing completely different genre.

Kumar: Yes the title of the anthology was very intriguing, I had no idea what to write. I didn't want to miss another book from Gargi so I decided to give a try and 'The Formidable Foe,' came into existence. It was really very challenging to write, 'The Formidable Foe,' I had little hope that the editor will select my story but thankfully they selected it.

Nainika: Out of your so many creations, which one is your favorite and why?

Kumar: I think a writer usually likes all his creations but some of his creations always remain close to his heart. 'The Bride,' which I wrote for MM3 is one of my creations which have always been close to my heart.

Nainika: While we have a great pool of anthologies in market, what "Its all about dogs and bitches" is capable to offer different from them?

Kumar: 'It's All About Dogs And Bitches,' is quite different from a number of lovey dovey anthologies, which have flooded the anthology market. People who are bored of reading those lovey dovey tales shall certainly find 'It All About Dogs And Bitches,' interesting. There are ten tales which shall certainly entertain their readers.

Nainika: Which phase of writing do you enjoy most?

Kumar: Difficult question, anyway I love laying the plot of my stories. I drive at least 120 km everyday and that the time when I lay the plots of my stories. It helps me to use the travelling time fruitfully.

Nainika: Please throw some light on your story, "The Formidable Foe"

Kumar: 'The Formidable Foe,' is a tale of a race against the time to save a long forgotten love, but there is a big surprise in store for the protagonist.

Nainika: Tell us something about the lead characters.

Kumar: There are three leading characters, Devika, Sidharth and Julfi. Devika and Sid are long parted lovers while Julfi is a crook who is after Devika.to make her pay her father's debt.

Nainika: How close is your story to real life?

Kumar: This is tale of love and deceit. People get cheated of their fortune, their lives and even of their sentiments, so this story is the mirror of the society we live in.

Nainika: Which part of your story is your favorite?

Kumar: Well before parting Sid goes to Devika to seek her pardon for the crime he did never commit. She forgives him but refuses to get him back in her life again. I like this part of the story very much, which teaches us that one should never refrain from asking forgiveness from one's love to keep their relationship alive.

Nainika: Which character of your story resembles you someway?

Kumar: I think Sid resembles to me because all alike me he also prefers to be get cheated instead of cheating someone.

Nainika: Why should we, the readers, buy "It's all about dogs and bitches"?

Kumar: This book is a unique collection of most intriguing stories on the theme by some very good writers. This is not a collection of lovey dovey tales , quality readers should not miss this book.

Nainika: What would be your message for readers?

Kumar: Friends good books rarely hit the market, this one is really an interesting one. Please grab your copies to read another hit from some good writers and the best publisher.

Thanks Nainika for giving your precious time to take this interview.

To read her story, “My Fair Lady” in Its all about dogs and bitches, order your copy today from here: Amazon

Here we get to know her more closely:

Nainika: Define “Akshata” in one word.

Akshata: I would say ‘Frank’

Nainika: Akshata you come from a field entirely different from writing, how do you manage between both.

Akshata: Actually, not much of my efforts are required to manage between writing & my present career. I don’t reserve special time for me to write. It just comes from within. So whenever I feel like, I pen down.

Nainika: We know your professional goals, what goals do you have as a writer?

Akshata: For me as a writer I always aim to keep my readers glued & to give them a diverse reading. As a reader, I myself wouldn’t like monotony. So, I’d like to be versatile.

Nainika: Kindly tell us something about your story, “My fair lady” in “It’s all about dogs and bitches”.

Akshata: ‘My Fair Lady’ revolves around a young girl who is in search for her soulmate & her stance when she finds that her so-called soulmate is a complete package of crap.

Nainika: Would you like to say something about the lead characters.

Akshata: The protagonist ‘Ankita’ is a girl who has never been in love despite being an extrovert & having so many handsome guys around. She is bold and straight-forward and doesn’t care what others would think about her. She carries herself with grace and poise.

Nainika: Which character of your story is your favorite?

Akshata: If I’m asked to name only one, it has to be Saket. I have picked this character from my real life. He’s my best friend and just like in the story he’s a support to me in real life as well.

Nainika: Which part of your story touched you closely?

Akshata: The part where ‘how my would-be wife should be’ is being described by the guy. Although we speak of progressive mindset, gender equality, rationalism and what not, when it comes to marriage I don’t know under which rock these thoughts go. I agree that people are changing and so is the thought process, but it still exists at some places.

Nainika: While there are so many anthologies coming up, what made you participate in “Its all about dogs and bitches”?

Akshata: Well, the title caught my eye. When I went through the guidelines, I had a story that would aptly fit into the criteria. So I thought why not give it a try? I was overjoyed to read my name in the selected author’s list because this is my first step into being published.

Nainika: Which lines of the story are your favorite?

Akshata: ‘What if a girl has a dusky complexion, an outstanding career and is ambitious and smart? Isn’t she good? To top it all he just said, a graduate would also do? Do? Do what?’ when you read the full context, it would get on a girl’s nerve because she picks up a course of her choice for herself & not because she would get a filthy rich husband. 

Nainika: Why should we, the readers, buy "It's all about dogs and bitches"?

Akshata: ‘It’s all about dogs and bitches’ is going to be a collection of some really heart-touching hate stories. It would be a caution about the possible threats that might be a step away for the ones in relationships & for the ones who want to be in a relationship. 

Nainika: What would be your message for readers?

Akshata: Being in love & being loved is one of the best feelings. But being hurt is also a part of life. It teaches you lot of things, so learn without losing hope that it is not the end. These stories would definitely give you the hope I’m sure of it.

To read her story, “I love you, both” in “Its all about dogs and bitches” Order your copy from here: Amazon

Here we get to know her closely:

Nainika: Hi Nikita, first of all congratulations for another feather in your cap “It's all about dogs and bitches”. Coming to my first question:

After being a part of so many books by Gargi Publishers, how would you rate Gargi Publishers on scale of 10.

Nikita: Definitely 10 out of 10. Gargi Publishers is a great from a writer, especial the beginners. 

Nainika: You love writing romance, then what made you write for “Its all about dogs and bitches” which is not closely related to your favorite genre”?

Nikita: Yes, I love writing romantic stories but as it is said that every coin has two sides. Love, Romance too have a different side and “Its all about dogs and bitches” gave me the opportunity to write for a different and dark side of Romance. 

Nainika: Amongst all your works(previous and upcoming), which one is your favorite.

Nikita: Hmm. My favorite one hasn’t published yet. But from previous works, “Love Inspires” in Moonlit Matinee 4, The Notebook of Romance, is my favorite. 

Nainika: What would you like to say about your story, “I love you, both” in “Its all about dogs and bitches”

Nikita: A story, “I love you, both” is about a girl, Nitika. Who got stuck in a wrong relationship. The story is all about her thoughts and decisions, whether she came out of it or chose to stay, settled down and made bad compromises. A story also shows the bond between two female friends. How a friend also stands beside her friend! 

Nainika: Considering your previous works, what extra does this story has to offer to readers?

Nikita: I had worked on Love stories. I always make people to take inspiration from Love. But through this story, I will make them take lessons from Love. I don’t want to say more, but to get the difference between my previous works and this story, readers really should read this story.

Nainika: Please throw some light on the lead characters of the story.

Nikita: There are mainly three characters in the story, Meera, Nitika aka Niti and Johaan. The story is all about Nitika’s relationship with Johaan. Meera is Nitika’s best friend who always heard her. Niti used to share almost everything with her. Apart from Love, how a friendship can tie two people forever is also interesting in the story, after all Love becomes less-interesting if you don’t have a best friend to share your relationship secrets. 

Nainika: Can I, as reader be inspired positively from any of the characters in your story.

Nikita: Definitely yes. You will be inspired positively from all three characters in the story. You will miss your best friend with whom you used to share your heart breaks and happiness as well. You will miss your Ex for a moment who has taught you lessons for life and unknowingly made you stronger. You will eventually start thinking about your would-be or future partner. You would be clear what to do and what not to do. 

Nainika: Give three words for your story, that highlights its features.

Nikita: Love happens with one.

Nainika: How can your story bring a change in world?

Nikita: People used to fall in love every single day. That is not a problem actually, but it creates problems when you start falling in love with different person each day. Love is a feeling that comes for a one person for a life. I hope my story will help the world to understand that.

Nainika: Why should we, the readers, buy "It's all about dogs and bitches"?

Nikita:The readers should buy “Its all about dogs and bitches” because it is a really different and interesting theme. You will enjoy reading it and learn from it at a same time. The stories will save you from all dogs and bitches out there. Eventually it will make you stronger. 

Nainika: What would be your message for readers?

Nikita:Readers, you must have read different different anthologies until now. But here it is something more interesting. ”Its all about dogs and bitches” is a collection of experiences. I am sure we all have gone through bad situations and survived them. Now it’s time to enjoy those experiences and celebrate our survival. Those lucky ones who haven’t gone through it yet, be aware of these dogs and bitches. Watch out. And last but not the least, Keep reading, readers. Because without you all, a writer’s piece of writing is not valuable. Do share your reviews, they are not less valuable. Thanks.

A Gentle Reminder

New contest :)

Hello everyone... so we are back with a new contest. Hope to read your stories soon. Child abuse is more than bruises or broken bones. While physical abuse is shocking due to the scars it leaves, not all child abuse is as obvious. Ignoring children’s needs, putting them in unsupervised, dangerous situations, or making a child feel worthless or stupid are also child abuse. Regardless of the type of child abuse, the result is serious emotional harm. So, will you come forward and take an initiative to give them a future that doesn't involve any pain? Will you bring a smile to their innocent faces or let it be lost in scars?
