Hello, finale and prachi. I'm really looking forward for this conversation ahead and for your views on this very important topic. A very beautiful emotion which is inevitably a part of everyone's life. As you said, the interplay between love, hope and heartbreak is a profound and deeply human experience. It encompasses both the soaring heights of joy and the depth of sorrow, creating a tapestry of emotions that can be both exquisite and agonizing

And even when I have been spiraling down through the heartfelt pain, struggling through the phases of heartbreak and the grief that comes with it, I believe we finally have the power to let go and hold on. It's our choice whether we want it or not. It's our choice whether we want to dwell in a circle of pain and reduce ourselves to a moment where we pine for someone else who doesn't even look back. Or we can step forward and allow our heart to feel with possibilities

She had developed a keen interest in literature from an early age and as a child she would often find herself in the magical world of JK. Rowling, Annette Bytem and Nancy Drew, and beauty of poetry spent by William Wordsworth, Sylvia Platt and Serogeni Naido. Certainly she had dreamt one day of creating her own literary universe. Along with the studies, she embarked on the creative journey that blended love with imagination and innate creativity. From then, the ink has never stopped flowing

A beautiful but tragic ride. You laugh, you love, and you are filled with joy and ecstasy at one point, while in the other moment you are miserable. You ache and you mourn. But it does teach you the highs and lows of life. It explores your heart and soul. So this inspired me to write a collection of short stories called Soundless Ecos that are compiled in my book. And it captures different stages of love and how our heart responds in that phase of our life. Close

Thank you. So sushma to add on to the point what inspired me to write this collection of short stories that assigned soundless echoes so I believe I have been through the struggle and phases of heartbreak and love in multitudes that have had a lasting impact on my life and I have seen the same impact in the people around me. So do delve further into the layers of love and how that the love can be beautiful at one point and then it could be a tragedy in your life at certain other point

So a very good evening to you, Prachi Ma'am. I am Kadambari Gupta. And first of all, many congratulations for your book. Soundless Echoes the title in itself looks very interesting, you know. Soundless Echoes ma'am, my question to you is that a short story has to be if it's called a short story, as the name says, how many pages should be a short story of like seven pages or just four to five pages? That's my question. Ma'am. Thank you

@kadambarigupta

Hi, Kadambari. Thank you for your question. So a short story could be four to five pages. That would be a good amount of pages for a short story. But if it tends to be slightly longer, then it could be seven to eight pages. Because I myself have written a short story that is slightly longer than the short stories that are correct in this focus

Indeed, prachi love is the most powerful emotion, and it definitely comes in different phases, different shades. It teaches a lot about life and some things that you can't learn or experience anywhere. That is something you experience when you understand what love exactly is and what it makes you feel deeper in your heart. Um, so talking about your book Soundless Echoes can you share some gist or insight about the collection of stories that your book has?

Hi, sonali. Thank you for the question. Soundless Ecos is a collection of heartfelt short stories. Ecos signifies countless emotions of should haves or could haves. It delves deeper into the hearts of people that have been portrayed encapsulating a mortal world. These stories are like the sound of thund patters of rain, wind or waves crashing against the shore. But they are soundless like emptiness, heartbreak, longing, pain and regrets

Like, are some stories or are the main characters of stories portrait in such a way that it will make a reader feel that as if they're having a conversation with that particular character? And how many characters does your collection of stories have? Like, does every story has a different character or it's like a continuation part?

Ah, yes, sonali. Thank you for your words. Indeed, solitude and Despire is a very vivid experience in love. And such a collection of short stories that has been portrayed in my book has the potential to deeply resonate with the individuals who have experienced profound feelings of loneliness, ache, pain and hopelessness. They can provide a feeling of belongingness to them and let them know that in love, they aren't the only ones who have undergone struggles and tragedy

Hello? Yes. oneally rightly identified the soundless ecosystem. Paradox is what came to my mind immediately when I started thinking about the ecos within our hearts. Ecos signifies the triggers in our hearts the emotions that are invoked deep within when we feel love and it's the unimaginable impact it has in our lives

The only thing that keeps you strong is the battle that you fight with yourself within the pain that you feel inside your heart and your mind. So yeah, those are the sensitive emotions and sensitive topics when it comes to live a life. So as an author, I'm pretty sure it might be difficult to capture such raw, vulnerable emotions. So how did you approach capturing these emotions, the echoes of emotions and experiences with the mortal hearts?

How would I feel when I am going through what that person is going through? What kind of emotions would be running the course in my heart? How do I deal with this burning emotions? I pinned down what I could resonate with. But the challenge is every person, most importantly, every reader, brings their own experiences and perspectives. And the power of storytelling lies in its ability to evoke those emotions, encourage reflection, and foster a sense of shared humanity

Indeed prachi and the power of storytelling, especially in today's era, I feel it is something that connects the readers, inculcates the quality, like keeping the emotions, relations, vulnerability and humane nature alive. And that's how I think we all have been keeping, especially in the tough times of COVID So when when it comes to your stories, so was there any personal experience that you have also shared through the medium of stories?

Yes, sonali, definitely. The stories are inspired by the lives of my own experience and the people around me. If I could pick some stories that have pound their way to these pages from the cobwebs of my emotions would be story three, that is And I fell in love again. Story nine, Echoes, and the story ten just be a broken chapter. These are the stories that have been the experiences of my life

So I had this one question in my mind and this one question I think I never really found an answer for and I eventually moved on because what's the point of being sad over the things you can't answer? So yeah, that one question was when you know that your heart has been betrayed and broken into so many pieces, how do you get the faith to trust someone with your heart again?

@Devii_official

The grief that we get is too much and even if we find some moments of solas we just then drift back to the past and then we start to think about the heart that we got and then again we are back to the same track. So rightly said by you. How do we move forward? Well, with my personal experience when my faith and heart got crushed for a moment I stopped. My life came to a pause and I started questioning everything I believed in
