The pen is mightier than the sword - there is no doubt. But the question of bringing peace back is not dependent solely on the pen. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/jasonbourne111/status/…

#TOIAskSudha Do you think, in this world, a pen is still mightier the sword? Can our writings bring the peace back on the land?

As long as the core of the story is applicable to real life, the story itself can be a fairy tale or anything else. It's all about the magic of weaving the story. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/shiny_hoque/status/919…

#TOIAskSudha Hello Mam , can the story be a fairy tale ? ( satisfying all other conditions ) Thank you.

I don't think I will ever do a 100% romance novel but a shade of romance is there in all my fiction work. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/writernithya/status/91…

#TOIAskSudha Hi mam, am a great fan. Have you thought of writing a romance novel? :)

Pen it down in your own words. At first, it may be difficult but it will happen more easily in time. After you have written the content, wait for some time to pass and read it again without bias.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/pixizephyr/status/9198…

The last book I read was 'My name is Gauhar Jaan' by Vikram Sampath. It is a well-written and well-researched book. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/Rashmi_joshi2/status/9…

Reading itself is at a new high. The form, however, has changed considerably and so has the format. Now there are devices to allow easy reading, influence of social media, related articles, and such. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/nilutpal_gohain/status…

These days, self-help books are in greater demand than novels. Non-fiction has also become quite popular, I feel, along with children's literature. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/Vinay_Physics/status/9…

@TOI_Books #TOIAskSudha, What genres of books do you think find most connect with Indian audience?

Generosity of a few is the hope for milliions. I saw this quote in a hospital in USA and really liked it. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/nanjani_gandhi/status/…

Is there any quote, any particular line that you wish you had written? #TOIWriteIndia #TOIAskSudha @TOI_Books

When I was young, Chandamama influenced me to a great extent. Children themselves inspire me to write for them. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/smita_mishra/status/91…

Who is your favourite Children's author? What inspired you to write for kids?#TOIAskSudha @TOI_Books

Yes, it has had a great influence especially in my children's writings. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/Navyanand/status/91980…

Your stories reflect a happy childhood. Has that been your inspiration behind writing? @TOI_Books #TOIAskSudha

Over a period of time, I have learnt to tell people upfront about the utility value of the donated items. Today, I do not accept unusable items.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/piyushckalwar/status/9…

Preferably both, but it depends on the storyline. #TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/piyushckalwar/status/9…

No, it does not limit your imagination. Think positive - it has proven to have long term benefits.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/DeekshaSarin/status/91…

Your #TOIWriteIndia rules talk about writing a positive story. Do you feel it will limit imagination? #TOIaskSudha

What do you enjoy more, writing for kids or writing for adults? #TOIAskSudha @TOI_Books

Go for a walk and during this time, think about the story in your mind. It is a physical and mental exercise. Once you get into the routine, you will find focus. Remember that we may lose the battle but we will win the war.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/KanuSharma1910/status/…

#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books I stopped writing few years back due to depression and now suffering a setback in getting back to the writing routine? How can I resume the writing goals again?

It is individual to each book and depends on the storyline - from a minimum to 5 days to 45 days.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/npshah4/status/9198008…

Like a mother loves all her children, all my books are very dear to me. House of Cards is a complex book and took almost 15 years to write and it holds a special place in my heart.#TOIAskSudha #TOIWriteIndia @TOI_Books x.com/debonairfey/status/919…
