A Brief introduction:
I hails from The valleys of Pogal and Paristan, District – Ramban (Jammu and Kashmir). I did my primary schooling from hometown Pogal Ramban upto 10th and 12th from Udhampur. I have completed Bachelor of Sciences from GGM science College Jammu and M.sc in Earth, Atmosphere, Oceanic and Planetary Sciences from University of Jammu. I have dealt with so many life challenging obstacles and wanderlust aspirations, that rooted me to write poetry and quotes. I love to observe the tiniest of tiny things that helps me out to learn more about their real essence, and inspires me to conquer the new heights in my life.
What are you hobbies?
I loves to write, gardening, singing, researching and motivating others. I am fond of playing outdoor games like cricket.
When did your love for books begin?
Exactly I don’t have enough knowledge about it but I started this caravan since my childhood. I prefer to be surrounded by the bookish environment. I read so many novels and poetry books penned by incredible authors. The fragrance of papers help me to balance my inner being. My favourite book is “Srimad Bhagavad Gita”.
When did you crave to become an author?
I never thought that I would ever opt to become an author, but to curve something out of everything is my prime Hobby. I always put my thoughts in my diary whenever I find time or during busy schedules I do the recordings of my thoughts on my phone .The appreciation and encouragement from my teachers and some friends really helped me a lot in the process of becoming a published author. As for now few conditions don’t allow me to continue my voyage in this staggering field but in future, I’m looking forward to write many more books.
How have you found the process for becoming an author?
To become an author, is not an easy task, it took a lot of time, finance, heartbreaks, sleepless nights, headaches and many more. There are abundant chances of failures. I am thankful to Poetry World Organisation (Publishers) for their timely help and support. They helped me a lot in the journey of becoming a published author. I have a core rooted belief on writing as it is soul healer which dilutes the quality of depression and the materialistic lusts.
What is the purpose of your writings and why are you a poet?
Well, the purpose of my writings is to satisfy the lust of my soul, to spread an awareness to various causes that are happening around in our life.
Sorry, the reason behind a poet in me is somehow confidential. I cannot reveal this, though will probe it by a composition;
ORIGIN OF MY POEM
It was dazzling time,
when I commenced words to rhyme.
Choice was neither theirs nor mine,
it happened when every thing turned milky lime.
Every where mysteries were prime,
then I planned to plant a poetry of thyme.
I get bramed and remixed with grime,
when I started to compose a verse of mine.
It was morning, as sun's raising time,
but I see all around it was lusty shine.
Sometimes I write about brave hearts and crime,
hope in future it may extends upto shrine.
Yester night I composed a poem full of rhyme,
now I obsolete poetry as part-time to lifetime.

Tell us about your book/books:
As you know that, digitalization has almost vanished the era of books, but the essence of reading a book in hands will be never replaced by a tablet or device. The name of my book is, “The Craved Emotions”. It is a collection of poems on versatile topics, a collection of quotes and an enthralling story about an environmental issue. I have co-authored more than 25 books till now, worked with more than one thousands writers across the Globe.

What do you love about the writing/reading community?
Since I belongs to the most illiterate and poorest district of Jammu and Kashmir. I always owe to writers of my district and region. I have a kind heart towards writing community. I consider, the writers are the beauty of nature who have the potential of changing the future of an individual and a nation as well.
Who is your favourite writer and poet?
For me it is very difficult to choose a single, still my favourite writer is sir Rabindranath Tagore, my favourite poet is Faiz Ahmed Faiz sir and Sacred Ravinder Jain Sir is my Inspiration.
Travelling is something that you likes the most? Tell us about some of your recent places you have visited?
Well, travelling especially in mountainous regions is my favourite hobby. The scent of Greenery, soil, rocks, xerophytes, landforms, the young streams is something that makes my inner being blissful. last time i visited Kashmir, Dal Lake, Nishat Garden, Shalimar Garden and the outskirts of Pir Panjal range.
Now a days the youth has lost interest towards book reading. What is your opinion on this topic. why is reading important to mankind especially youth?
Reading is vital, it helps to acquire more knowledge and understanding. Though all digital platforms have made world wide knowledge accessible at the click of button. But still it can't wholly replace the Book in a library or in our hands. The essence of books can't be replaced by digital libraries or resources.
For me, reading is the therapeutic it helps in the overall development of a mankind, I think the youth of this digital era also adopt book reading as a healthy practice especially those who want to excel in the field of literature and writing.
