BITTER MELON
by VIDYA VAIBHAV
I am an accidental poetess . It started by scribbling my thoughts on tissue paper and the late page of my notebooks until someone appreciated it and told me I could do better. I am an Author of 2 academic and one self help book but an avid reader by heart . I go by the pen name Vidya Vaibhav (Knowledge is wealth)
Some questions with our amazing Author:
1. Whats was that one thought, or an image or an idea that refused to leave your mind until you wrote this book/poem?
I had an image which often came to me and went like a known scent – sitting on a cliff on a chilly winter night with someone who had his arms wrapped around me inside a cozy quilt and with open eyes we gazed at the star lite sky. It was back then when I was a 20 year old girl living in my fancy world.
2. If this book were to sit on a bookshelf with another book – which book would you choose and what would it say ?
It has to be the “Milk and honey” by Rupi Kaur. My book would certainly ask her .. what makes you so fearless and free spirited ..here,
I am still shackled …
3. If your book was a person , what kind of person would it be and what would it look like?
If my book was a person it would be just like me a common girl with common looks and common fantasies. A storm wrapped in a simple saree.
4. If a reader accidentally drops your book into another universe, what genre it would be?
I think I would be fiction because the world, love , care , appreciation we desire is not for real ..
5. 2 movies to watch if our reader loves this book
1. The notebook 2. Before the sunrise (trilogy)
The Sharp Spine
