In vivid memory of the year 2010, Farakh went missing, and his mother, struck by grief and ringing every bell, finally contacted Imran about his whereabouts, but all in vain. This incident forced Imran to flee back to his native village.
This book encapsulates deeply personal, powerful, and unforgettable stories of history, home, and loss.
While Imran wrestled with the demons of his past, he confronted the anger and a tragedy that ultimately forged him into what he is now - a stronger, more aware person of the world that was kept away from him by the circumstances of his younger years.
1. To begin, tell us what motivates you to write.
There are stories close to my heart and stories, which I wanted to share with people, it was not motivation but a necessity to write, and I used to write poetry from 10th grade.
2. How has the experience of publishing this book been for you?
It has been an absolute joy, to publish my first book. I started writing this book long back, but could not publish it and this time, when I got in touch with Leiper Publications things turn around quickly & easily, here we are talking about my book. This is a dream come true and the book in receiving a good response from all around
3. Tell us about your latest novel, what can the readers expect from it? And who would it most appeal to?
Readers can expect memorable characters and satisfying twists, filled with Emotions, pain and love! There are hearth wrenching stories like Farakh who went missing in 2010, and his family struck by grief, the pain they have gone through in search of their child, and the process of everyday search from one place to another. It is a story of a First Photographer, who was a well-known personality and about a boy who used to sell grocery items to pay for his school fees & the events he has gone through. A love story of Imran and Saba who fall in love with each other and a story of a star cricket player & his famous Cricket team
4. How did you come up with the idea for this book?
I started writing this book in 2014, when I joined a Bank, as an on-job trainee for 2 months, there was not too much work for a trainee. I started to write about the daily happening in the office and my hostel, where I was staying with other 40 people – and in a week I had written some 8-10 pages and that’s where it all started.
What are your other interests apart from writing?
I like to take photographs, cook and explore new places
How much time did it take you to complete the book?
It took me 3 years to complete the book, but I was not able to complete it in terms of self-reading or editing for long & which is how it took me too long to complete it for publishing
What has been your most important learning through the entire publication process?
Now and then, the writer needs to step back and look at the content as a reader to be able to critically analyse the story. In addition, it is important to make sure that the reader feels impelled to read until the end.
