A Chat with Diptendu Chakraborty whose first book sold 20,000 copies
Hello everyone. It's Monday and Mira is back with another interview. This time I have a special guest with me author Deep tendoo Chakravarti whose first fiction itself has sold 20,000 copies. So he has got a success at first hit itself and I am very happy Mr. Dip Tindu has accepted my invitation to be on my swell cast with me. I extend a warm welcome to Mr. Dip Tindu Chakravarthi in this wellcast and would request him to share with us his journey as a writer
And since then, although and it sold around 20,000 copies, and it was declared a bestseller. Well, what I feel is like, capturing human emotions or capturing stories from your friends, or even even if two people are talking and you're just sitting by the side listening to them, listening to whatever conversation they are having, we can develop that into a good story. So that's how these skills got into me
There are so many things in my head, but it takes effort for me to put it in on a paper, though I am also published. So, yeah, that's a very good point. And I think the aspiring writers who are listening to this should take note of that point. Jot down what interests you. Jot down what you have observed. Every little thing can be developed into a beautiful plot
But then yes, somehow I believed in the story that if people like the story then obviously it's going to stuck a chord with most of them because it was a youngster story and every youngster wants to associate himself if he is reading a story, he wants to associate himself with the story and be a part of it
That's great to know the tendul. And you are right that people prefer romance. After all, Sringaras is the most interesting rest of Navarasa itself and all our even the saints have used it. So it's no wonder that people love to take a romcom and read it quickly as it satisfies satisfies you emotionally most of the times
Yes, ma'am. First of all, answering your last question first. Yes, there would be a sequel because obviously the first part ended in a cliffhanger and well ma'am, actually the thing was, after writing my first novel, I was researching for another, you know, another my second book. It was not exactly a romcom, but a romantic thriller only. But then in these four to five years after my first novel, I thought that people's perspectives towards love stories are changing
And since you have got success back to back in both your books, I would like to ask what will be your tips to the aspiring writers or even the writers who have published their books to make it successful? I know there is no one success formula. It depends on the readers, it depends on the content of the book. Still, there will be some tips that can be shared so that people who are writing, they can follow those tips to create something beautiful
If you are writing for example, if you are writing a thriller, then there has to be a back story which supports the actual front end of the story. So that backstory has to be pretty solid, which actually comprehends the front story. If you're writing a love story, then you have to encapsulate huge emotions, which actually, while reading a reader, while reading, he feels that this story could be a part of his life as well
So you too can check out and enjoy the book. And next week, Mira will be back once again with one more personality to interview and share their inputs. Thank you for listening. Thank you for being with me. Bye for now
