- Introduce yourself to the audience.
Hello I am Priyajit
Ghosh, of 23 and live in Durgapur, West Bengal. I am an Electronics engineer
and Love ; A Sweet Poison 2 is my first venture as a published author.
- Define yourself in one word.
Curious.
- At what stage of your life you started writing?
I started writing
since my childhood, when I was around 6 -7 yrs.
4.What motivates you to write?
It’s really difficult to say what exactly motivates me to write, there
are so many. Considering the fact that
our world is an infinite array of different different possibilities that can
blow your mind, from beauty to intense pain. But If I were to point out one big
factor among those many, I would probably say that innovation. Science being my
passion, I have always tried to look at incidents in a different way and think
out of the box, and trying to give forth to something innovative. And I hope my
stories continue to reflect this fact of newness.
Fiction all the way.
6.To you, which is a
better medium to express; prose, poetry, art, film, play or any other and why?
For me it’s a film that best expresses everything. As we know, a
process of learning becomes complete only when we visualize it through our eyes
and ears. A film projects the story in a way such that it becomes complete. In
writing a book, words are limited. The author may try to portray a character
some way and it might get differently to the readers. This is what is called a
‘semantic gap’, and it might create a real gap between exactly what the author
feels and the magic he wants to portray and what the reader visualizes. A video
or film reduces that, it clearly portrays what is right from both eyes and
ears.
7. What would you
like to be reborn as?
A human again will do fine ;-)
8. Which is more
important to you; money or fame?
Like every common man, I yearn both, separating the greed
for either of them..
9. How do you react when
rejected by the publishers?
There is nothing to react, it’s a part and parcel of an author’s life.
10. Your valuable
suggestions to the prospective writers?
Three things if you want to be different from the pack— Imagination, newness
and self-belief.
