Coincidentally I saw the head of the Sridasawata the India's book leading coach and she helped me in my journey, in my author journey and due to her help I can write my first book now that's it about my writing journey
Thank you, Akshay, for that wonderful reply. I'm so happy that you found a way out of depression and you got the support of your friends and family. And as you write is that not many are lucky to get that kind of support. And that is one of the reasons many people hide their depression also. And coming to your journey as an author, it's so natural. I used to know that you accepted it as your destiny

Well, if I talk about Akshay force and this book is very close to my heart because it is it was my first book and I wrote poetry in this book of different journal. I have written in the Romantic journal and philosophy, philosophical poetry. So it is very close to my heart because it was it was my first thing, which I used to write with my heart. And I have shared so many feelings in my poetry
So, coming to your next question, like, I have read your book, A Winning Smash, so and when I read your bio and the fact that you have fought depression, I kind of felt that the protagonist of The Winning Smash Drove, has a shade of Akshay in it. Is it that? So is that book inspired from your own fight against depression?

Yes, it is true that I have fought with the depression but what I feel that my story is not worthy to write it because I have family supports, I have friends support and lot of people have supported me. In my bedtime. But this book or this story is about someone else who is who is very my closed one and I don't want to reveal his name, but he has suffered a lot
That is so nice of Yorkshire to get inspired from someone else's life and create a story out of it. And I would say that that story would be inspirational to that struggling person also that one day his struggles will bear fruit. So I also hope from whomever you have inspired in writing your a book winning smash become a youth icon. Let his struggles bear the fruit. So coming to the last question of this interview

First I wanted to say that just share your problem with your family members. No matter nobody can if nobody is not understanding your problem but your family member definitely will understand your problem. And second thing I want to say that don't run behind the validation of others. Don't because people really don't care about you. If you if you run toward the validation of other you'll also I mean you will feel always that let down because people are there to let you down
And I will make decision based on my free will only. And it's my free will that has taken me to do even this forecasting which I still cannot believe I am doing it. That's another thing. But yes, using your free will, using your skills is important and that can take you to places. Just stop comparing yourself, your skill set to others and try to fit yourself into the mold. Nobody can fit in the mold the society has set. Because you are unique
