A Chat with ZeeC Rustom an author, an engineer, a homemaker
And I'm very happy she has accepted my invitation to be on this webcast to discuss about her book, her passion, her journey. So Ma'am, let us start by recovering capturing your journey from a civil engineer to an author

Then later during my teenage era, when I started reading mystery stories of Annette Blitzen and such lot, I got fascinated and was into writing mystery stories of my own. Of course, none of them were seen by anybody because I used to be embarrassed showing them to anyone, even my friends. Although some of them did know that I used to write. Then later during the college age and like those years, I was into reading romance
I always call it a noble profession where you need a certain level of mental maturity also which I felt at that point of time I did in that but even my choice of engineering was questioned by everybody why did you take engineering? You should have gone for medicine. It was like your passion, your ambition, everything is secondary. And even my writings were mostly for school as a writing competition and in my diary and I think I too was embraced to show my writings to everyone. Why?

But no, I can't say that none of them have inspired me to consider taking them any further than the time passing they are to me. For one thing, I am someone who gets easily distracted. That is, I might be painting a canvas with acrylic or maybe oil painting some picture drawing. And maybe because it takes a lot of time and concentration and you have to be in a certain kind of mind frame when you're painting
But I would seriously suggest you should get out of your comfort soon because when I left my corporate job to pursue my passion, podcasting or editing in Canva or even having an active Instagram account was not at all in my agenda. I just wanted to run and I just wanted to do some social work. But a lot of things happened, which includes the pandemic that gave me time to explore myself. And I understood that, okay, I can explore this area also

Now I do understand that many ladies, especially if they are forced to give up on their careers it's very tough because they feel they have studied so hard, worked so hard for their careers and now when their other friends and colleagues are doing well at jobs they have to give up their potential. What I would like to tell them is to look at the good aspects of being at home
I've seen feminine way will help you to balance work and family better accept your biology, accept your role as a nurturer a mother and then accept your ambition also if you do that, then you can remind some what happy is my take on my experience on motherhood and also on being working. So that is my point of view. Now, coming to the last question you are a writer and you have published your first book A Census Betrayal, which I have read and it's a wonderful book

So there are a lot of funny moments and also supportive emotional moments where the friends support each other and remain by each other's sides in times of need. So I hope everybody gives it a try. It's available on Kindle Unlimited also so do try reading it and let me know the opinion guys. And thank you Mira for having me on this well cast. It was a marvelous experience. So thanks a lot for inviting me to join you. Thank you
And I'm very happy that she did it. So my listeners, definitely all those who are fan of Romecom, who love to enjoy a good cocktail of love, friendship, betrayal, tears, joy, partying, emotions, this book is for you. So this weekend, check it out. It's not a big book. I think it's only about some 200 pages. So you can read it in one go
