Hi Shoshma. Thank you for this query. Motherhood is a journey which involves commitment along with pure emotions. And few girls, like Nayana are destined to share their motherhood virgin. Mother is an inspirational story. And I was inspired to write a relatable story where I heard about a family where the mother was suffering from serious ailment and her bachelor sister took the responsibility to nurture her sister's kids. And when you write a story which you are an inspirational story. I had faced no issues at all

Indeed. Pratima. I am sure that our readers will love reading the book and the way you have explained it so beautifully, the description of how the title came up as a virgin mother. Okay, so this question might be a little tricky one, but yeah, without giving any spoilers about your book. Okay, so can you provide some insights onto the journey and how Nana embarks on to find the baby's biological mother? Like, what were the new experiences that she faced?
PRATIMA RAJ

Ninea. When she encountered the abundant baby in the train, she was helpless as she was not aware of babysitting. She secretly carried the baby to her hostel as she did not want to leave the baby alone. There she encountered many hurdles, but the search for the biologic mother was on. She also faced by issues where she was slut shamed by everyone. So what was her journey and what was the process she went through that?

Whenever we talk about character building or plot development, an author makes sure that it gives a personal touch wherein readers can actually connect with the kind of character, the personality traits and the emotions of the character. So what was your experience while building the character of Nana and other characters mentioned in the book? And is any of the character trait or emotion related to any real life experiences of yours that influenced in the plot development or the character and the personality treats development in the book?

Good evening, ma'am. Thank you for this query. In a story, character plays a vital role. And in Virgin Mother, every character has been given its special importance. Apart from Nayar, her sister, her mother, her father, her friend and other characters too which plays the lead. And when all these characters combine they make a beautiful family completing the story. And there are few twists and turns in the story. Also special characters are also being included
So what's your take on this? That isn't it a woman's choice whether she wants to become a mother or not? Or isn't it her choice whether she wants to adopt a child and not get married? That's my question. Thank you, ma'am. And I wish you all the best and lots of success

Good Evening. Kadambari Ma'am. Thank you for this query. As per your query, I would say every individual has the right to make their own choice. Irrespective of being married or not married, or being a foster mother or an ebiogical mother. If you are able to live your life guilt free and you are capable of handling the responsibility with love and care, then no one has a right to oppose on your decision. So I hope I have answered your query. Thank you so much

My question to you is what was the instinct or what was the click in your mind to portray the character of Nana? What inspired you to write the story about a Virgin Mother? There must be some kind of inspiration behind that. So I would like to know about that inspiration

Good evening, Whippin ma'am. Thank you for this query. I always wanted to pen inspirational thoughts, and I do so. And as per the story, nayar, as a character indicates dedication, commitment, sacrifice in unconditional love and guilt free life. And when a person encounters any hurdles, how a person handles the situation, giving humanity as the main criteria. Thank you

Hello, Katamam. A very good evening to you, and congratulations on your book. Nanovala and I would like to ask you, why do you do you think the title will trigger critics? And, like, what do you think would be their reaction? And I'm so proud of the title, and I forgot the book, so congratulations
PRATIMA RAJ
@Pratimaraj07 · 0:22
Good evening. Thank you for this query. The title Virgin Mother, will not trigger critic because, as I said before, virgin means also inexperienced in a particular field. And in this story, Nayar is inexperienced handling an informed baby. So thank you very much for this query

Hello. Good evening Pratima. This is very nice to hear from you and first of all congratulations for your book Virgin Mother. The title of the book feels very catchy and captivating as it feels very interesting to hear a virgin mother so. Motherhood is very pure emotion. It does not expect anything from the child in return. Mother do not expect anything from her child to do for her that her child should do for her
PRATIMA RAJ
@Pratimaraj07 · 0:29
Good evening, ma'am. Thank you for this query. Motherhood involves commitment along with pure emotions. And whether it is a biological mother or a foster mother, the mother has to lead her child towards the right direction. If the child is doing wrong, the mother's duty and it's her commitment, a responsibility to rectify that the child doesn't become ravan. He or she becomes a ram. So thank you so much for this query

Hello ma'am. My question is somewhat deviated from the topic which you are discussing. So my question is, how do you schedule your day to write this book? Like to come up with a book which is like 100 to 300 pages or more than that, we need lots of time. So my question is, how do you manage it and what would be your norm multi schedule?

It's quite interesting to know. So apart from characters like overall, when we talk about the perspective of the overall book and the story that you have stated, what do you hope that readers will remember the most about Nana's story and how the book will leave an impact in their lives and on their heart? Like, as an author, what is that one element or one impact that you want readers to take with them when they complete reading your book?
PRATIMA RAJ

And once again, thank you for sparing out such a valuable time of yours for our readers, for our audience and telling them about your book. So now, coming to the last question, since you stated that you restarted writing, you educated more yourself after pursuing after writing the children's story, then writing the quotes book and now you have written a novel. So what will be that one piece of advice that you would like to give to the youngsters or the youth?
PRATIMA RAJ
@Pratimaraj07 · 0:24
Thank you, ma'am, for having me. The one advice that I would like to give the youth would be read a lot of books, pen thoughts without fearing judgmentalism and be committed and consistent. That is very important. So if they follow their passion, then no one can stop them from reaching their own goals. Thank you so much

I'm so emotional in talking, I'm not able to articulate into sentences. Actually, they show up their faces and put ladies into a critical situation wherein she is so reluctant in giving birth to babies or live life with her husband. And emotionally she is down. Normally a woman is against a woman. Men are ready to support. Actually, honestly speaking and this is really inspiring, that nayar, without feeling any guilty consciousness, she dared to take the baby and look after her

But my question to you is what is motherhood like in case of a nonbiological child, as suggested by the title of your book, The Virgin Mother? What are the challenge challenges that the protagonist of your book faces while bonding with her non biological child? And how does this relationship evolve over time?
PRATIMA RAJ
@Pratimaraj07 · 0:18
Good evening, ma'am. Thank you for this query. Motherhood is a qualities that a mother have and much more than that. And when you read Virgin Mother, you will come to know in detail how our foster mother has adapted motherhood in her life. Thank you so much

Was there any inspiration from where you took it from or if you're not a mother, then did any experiences from your friends or from your own mum or from anywhere from where you took the inspiration and how were you able to comprehend the emotions of a mother ultimately? Because I think whether you are a biological mother or not, once you completely identify with the baby, once you are able to feel those emotions, I think a mother is a mother at the end of the day
PRATIMA RAJ
@Pratimaraj07 · 0:22
Good evening, ma'am. Thank you for this query. I would like to answer to this query by saying that humanity makes any person commit and to know in detail what? How she had the protagonist had committed herself. You have to read the Virgin Mother. And I would be honored if I get the feedback from you. Thank you
