So from there I have started getting some ideas of how to write and what to write. How should a person take their journey. Throughout the book I get to know few things about it. Later on. I have developed few stories which are like shelf by me only. And when I get to know like I have come through all this of six years. I was writing but I didn't publish a single book till date. But I had this zeal of writing, writing and writing

So this reminds me of the second question that I wanted to ask you that what inspired you to write fiction? And why the title? Kusasthali. A stream of blood. Like, when we say something or imagine something, a stream of blood, it kind of triggers the emotion because many things revolve around the particular element. Whenever we talk about blood, it might be relating to violence, emotions, and what the person has faced behind, or maybe a warlike situation
Very good evening to you Varun sir. I am Kathamri Gupta and I am very happy to know that you are from Hadrabad as I have heard a lot about Hadrabad the Charminar and the Salajang Museum as well. So my question to you is that since you are into writing so do you write poems as well or you write stories? And also I want to ask that do you write in a notebook or a diary or you write on your phone or a laptop or are there any other do?

Hello. Yes hyderabad. It is always a special place to me. And coming to the question you have asked what inspired me to write the fiction? I don't know. It was like a spark to me when I was reading the books. When I was reading some I don't remember the book, but when I was reading it, I felt like can also do this. I have the idea or imagination to write, to create something and to show to the world

I didn't even write a single essay in my school. I was just a normal kid who likes to play cricket or chill out with friends and read and study for the exams in the last minute. But somehow the journey has changed from that very normal kid to writing something. I don't know how it has happened but it happened for good

I mean, is experience always needed in writing a book for a person so good that catches people's eye or a person having no experience or less experience can either achieve the title of bestseller just on the basis of his or her imaginations. What do you think about it? I would much obliged if you answer. Thank you

That's so true that you stated about the process and the execution thing. Because when it comes to writing, just taking inspirations from other renowned authors and classic literature works or fictional works that are presented to us as a gift that we can learn from and experience that quality reading and implement that learnings in our life. So implementation is the key rather than just taking inspiration

@maruthivarun · 0:38
Hi Ma'am. Experience Is very much Needed to write a book or not even not in the book, not in the writing career, but any career experience is the Value Than anything Else. But in the book industry, you need to have some set of knowledge about everything. You to present your work to the world. I Think experience and marketing skills. I think so. I can say that marketing skills can help you to become a best seller
Sir, this is Shrawani and I'm glad to hear that you also are from one of the Telugu States. I am also from Telugu strata and I am from Andhra Pradesh and glad to know that you are from the capital of Telangana a place I always wanted to visit for in travel wise and it and I'm glad to know that you are a passionate writer like many of us. And I would like to ask you and know about the inspiration you to get from for writing

So true sonali failures are the stepping stone to the success. And coming to your question, I think before saying that I need to tell about the story a bit. So this is a story about a country that has been divided and it is fighting to gain the upper hand. And I feel there will be no good player or good politicians in order to save their country. They have their own agendas and that won't be like that won't make other people happy

I have to inculcate more value in my writings and how many times do you reframe the script and write it? So I just wanted to know because I'm very curious because I'm a writer and I feel that the words are jumbled up and I have to articulate it in a beautiful I keep more concentration on that

Hi, Shrawani. That's nice to hear about Telugu person in the conversation. My inspiration is everything around me. I take from my surroundings and I see and I add flavor to it. Like, for example, like a small a kitten is walking around the street. So I take that and I just add flavor to it with the nature. And as I already said, I have started writing from a detect. So it is just a journey of seven, eight years

@maruthivarun · 1:01
Hi, Prabha, thank you for the question. And yes, Hyderabad is a busy city, as always. And depending upon the time and everything that you have asked me, like generally for this book, I have taken at least a year to write from the start to end. And I have changed it multiple times in between to give the better version to the people, to the readers. So I think it depends upon your perspective of seeing it

And you now in this age, having experienced five, six years of writing and publishing your own book, connecting with the readers and getting literary success, what would you guide your younger self who is into literature? This question I ask to each and every author. Because in the present age, what they have achieved versus if what would be the situation back when their younger selves would be in literature and how you would guide your younger self. So pretty much excited to know what are your thoughts on this?

@maruthivarun · 1:42
Holding my first book in my hand was a dream come true for me and I was out of words when I was holding it the joy was in my eyes and while publishing the book I have come to the mindset that why wouldn't someone see my book or read my work? It is easy thing like I have done the great work and why shouldn't someone publish it and take it? But the process

And a lot of stuff like about the hashtags and all the pictures and all. For me, I do all these works. But how did you first started sharing your creations with the world? Like through what? Like on social media or on what what was your approach regarding the marketing of your creations? Whether it was whether you hired someone to do it for you or you learned it. So what was your approach? I would love to know about it
maruthi varun
@maruthivarun · 1:20
Hello. Hi, Ma'am. Marketing stuff like, as you already said, I went through a lot of research. I have read tons and tons of articles about it. And I have searched what kind of things need to be done to publish my book and to send my books to the world. And I do have a page called The Katani Tales in the Instagram, which I write about some stories, short stories, and I post it to the people and everyone

Thank you. Thank you sonali. Thank you for being with me in this conversation and I thank all the listeners who have asked me the questions. I hope I gave better answers for them. And do read Kushas Thali the Stream of Blood is available in Amazon on and my life mantra is to work without any expectations because if you have expectations then it might lead to disappointment and later it turns to grief or much worse

Hey, Varun. Good evening. Yes, absolutely. You were wonderful. And the answers that you gave were up to the mark, and I had a good time interacting with you. I'm pretty sure our audience might have enjoyed and learned a lot from the interesting conversation that we have had yesterday. And I wish you all the very best for the future interviews and much more success. To KUSA's 30th stream of blood. Best wishes and thank you so much
Hi. I want to start off by saying thank you so much for sharing this interview. I really enjoyed learning a little bit more about this author and your journey. My question for you today is, did you ever create a book that someone else really didn't like and they made sure that you knew about it? If so, how did you deal with it? And when time really got tough and you didn't really have motivation, how did you keep going with it?
