I am someone who indulges in so many genre reading, writing. So, it's difficult to choose again. So, I will name a few. It include some motivational books like IKIGAI, and some romantic and fictional ones like 'It Ends with Us' by Collen Hoover and lastly 'Everyone Has A Story' by Savi Sharma.
What was your first ever write up?

What inspires you to write?
My emotions or feelings. Writing for me is a way to express myself and my emotions. I can't find someone to understand me or listen to me always. So, I think writing is the best way to vent out my anger, and celebrate my happiness, lessen my sorrows through these words. And sometimes to inspire others as well.
