“Author Sonal Srivastava : The next big name in Indian writing world is creating her own path”

Author Sonal Srivastava

Have you ever wandered around a thought with a mind-boggling curiosity and then decided to take a flight to explore the ends of it?

Have you ever had the odds in your favour just when you were convinced they would not?

Have you ever breathed a life and exhaled passion that gives you wings?

We breathe everyday, feeling nothing, only spinning in circles to realise that the sand is slipping down the hourglass smooth and fast.

Sand slips down the hourglass fast but piles on emotions that could outrun our confidence. But what if you were told, you could pause it right there and take control. Would you not give it one last try?

Fighting demons is not just her determination but passion. She aspires to tell tales untold before. 

Our hunt for respite often remains inconclusive, irrespective of our stance in life. Majority of the times we find ourselves riddled by our own situations borne out of our emotions and reactions. Solving this puzzle remains our major struggle, let alone our understanding of respite, which is often considered to befriend our peace of mind.
