Siddharth Maheshwari is an entrepreneur by profession, an avid reader. He harbors a great interest in history, philosophy, science, geography and art. He enjoys theater and Sufi music. Wow what a blend. And loves spending time with his family. His first book, lynchman the best lead schemes of Mice and Men, was published by Leeds Card Publishing. It was a very well known political thriller and was well received by the audiences across Amazon and social media
You. Hi. Good afternoon. So as and thank you for the lovely introduction. And thank you for having me for this interview. As you ask that, how did I begin my writing journey? Well, I was always a reader. And when you read a lot of books, you have a lot of creativity in your mind. You have a lot of creativity that flows through you. And in life you at times look to have a creative outset to put out your creativity

So, yeah, that's the relatable factor of being an author and a reader. So, yes, now I'm pretty much excited to know about Wheel of Shadows. What went behind crafting such a gripping plotline and writing the characters and everything. So to begin with, the very first question what inspired the intricate interplay of geopolitical events and the espinoids and high stakes intelligence featured in the book? Like, it revolves around politics, it revolves around geography, some geographical events, and even the intelligence takes
So any story becomes relatable only when it is very near to the concurrent events. So what inspired me to write was all the happenings of the geopolitical situations and scenarios that were unfolding before our eyes. There was a coup in Myanmar, the situation with the Pakistani Punjabi faction who were controlling the government and the ISI was becoming precarious. I think it still is. And Siachan's importance to India is still very important and it's very vital

You? Well, yes, that's true. True events definitely inspire to write. So talking about the storyline, it involves a race against time for Raw agents. And we all know the importance of very second for Raw agents and how crucial the time is for them. So how did you approach creating a sort of tension and suspense in your narrative house?
Hello. See, the idea is always to write like this, wherein the reader wants to read that one more page, wants to read that one more chapter. You hook them on with the intention that they don't want to leave or let go of the book. The idea is to keep them hooked into the storyline. And that is how you end the chapters or the situations. Hanging. You leave them hanging, and then that's how their interest is peaked

Yes. Ultimately, that's what matters. That readers should stay till the end of the book. Also, can you shed a light on the research part as in the experiences that influenced the development of the central characters of your book? Vikramaditya Singh and Ranbir Roy how did you go through the research work? Or was it a personality from the real incident that happened which you wanted to portray in your book?
Like for example, there's a very small instance that there's a young girl whom Nena meets on the hills and she tells her that yes, if you want the information I will need money. So even a young girl gets corrupted by the ways of the society. And that is what I wanted to showcase through that particular incident. It's more about human emotions and their reaction to different situations

Because when we talk about writing of fiction, no doubt while reading, it gives the luxurious taste of reading that we say, because fiction is equals to flow, flow of emotions and emotions that creates empathy and connects the readers. But when we talk about the either side of the story, there's a lot of effort that goes around because every character has a different story and every story to make that character stand out. There are some things that we take into consideration
That there was a subplot that's going on, and that's what makes the entire thing more difficult. And, yes, it was a very interesting thing that when there are multiple the chaos points and in that you are able to think clearly or deliver, is what makes people root for the protagonist. And it makes for an interesting and thrilling plot point

You and creating such an intriguing plotline definitely will hook the readers to retail the end with this intriguing plotline. We also know about the shadowy figure you know, the man behind the shadow. So can you share some insights into it? Definitely without giving any spoilers, but some insights into the process of creating a shadowy antagonist, pulling the strings behind these seemingly disparate events and the man behind the shadow
Those questions is what made me look at my villain as somebody who's lurking in the shadows, who nobody knows about, and is still trying to control the situation and the outcomes. And that's the mindset with which I approached my villain. I believe that a villain is far more important and far more juicier in a story as compared to the protagonist

So at times it happens that even if a person wants to write, they kind of give it a second thought. So, yeah, what can be done to overcome such emotions? And anything, any one advice that has helped you in your journey that you have personally implemented and that can help the beginners and newbie writers out there. And by this, I would like to thank you once again and wish you all the best for the future interviews. And very soon I will be reading your book
Um, I would say that always write an original piece of work. Do not copy and read as much as possible and as many and as different authors as possible so that you are able to understand their writing style, what makes you get you, you know, what makes their book tick and what is the mind that is trying to write. You get to delve into their mind, and that's how you open your own creativity. So, yeah, always try and write an original piece of work
