The People I met said so.... (Part 3)

Recently, I had the joy of interviewing another debut author, Ar.Aabhas K Maldahiyar, the author of ‘Restart… an architect’s journey to the parliament house’. It was an experience to cherish, the author expressing his views on the "system" and other issues faced by our country today.



Know more about him through the interview:



He is keen to study politics, all art forms, and literature, has enormous passion for architecture and is highly revolutionary by attitude. He wants to carry on as an Architect, but wishes to take up the pen with a desire to bring remedy for the wounded “system” surrounding us. Apart from writing and carrying Architectural research, he spends time painting portraits and reading books by Robin Sharma, while ‘The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch,’ is his all time favorite.
He is the new author on the block, Ar.Aabhas K Maldahiyar. His debut novel, ‘Restart… an architect’s journey to the parliament house’ was released on the 5th of this month.
Aabhas, in a candid talk with Vaishnavi Patil, tells us about his views on college, politics and the ‘”system”, his experiences, his favourite books and his love for painting and what he thinks about the literary scenario in the country!!!

Are you game for a True Story; Fiction Style??


             Walking through the long rows of shelves in the library, I was searching for a book which would give me company for the next few days. As I walked past the non-fiction section (which is not my favorite genre), my eyes set on a book named "Aruna’s story” by Pinki Virani. I picked up that book and after reading a page, decided that this was the book I would like to read. And this very book opened up a whole new world of non-fiction and true stories to me!
             After that one, I have read many books in this genre. Mafia queens in Mumbai, based on the lady dons in the city, Black Friday, based on the1993 Mumbai blasts and recently Death in Mumbai, based on the Neeraj Grover murder case are a few of them.
               These works of non-fiction are a treat to our minds.... to read the article further click-here.
