Read up, ‘Suraya’s Gift’ author, Malavika Nataraj’s Interview,
(Part 2). The response for this blog post was outstanding. Incidentally, this
would also mark 100 posts on Sruti's BookBlog for this year. Yaay!!
That is why I thought I would put in the
second part, right now. So, let’s not waste time and keep on reading, Folks…
What was the most
challenging part about writing this book?
For me the most challenging
part was trying to put some distance between me and the manuscript, to try and
see it objectively, if anyone reading, it would enjoy it as much as I did writing
it.
Who was it that
told you that you could become the author, you are today?
 |
| Malavika Nataraj |
My family. They have been
reading my stories, since I was a child.
They always told me that I could be
anything I wanted, to be and I think that gave me the freedom to explore what I
really enjoyed doing.
When will you next
book be out?
 |
| Margaret Atwood |
Which book are you
currently reading?
Who are your
favourite authors and why?
I read a lot of Japanese
authors, the Japanese language being a deep passion of mine.
So I’d have to
list, Haruki Murakami, Junichiro Tanizaki as some of my favourites.

Another
classic for me is Pearl Buck’s 'The Good Earth', which I have read more than 25
times! And each time I read it, I find a new line that really resonates with
me.
What else do you do on a daily basis?
I’m currently qualifying to be a Japanese-English translator so my
studies and translation assignments keep me quite busy.
