REVIEW-
This book Super Women by PrachiGarg mainly focuses on the inspirations and the motivations of the female entrepreneurs. It contains stories of amazing women.
MrsPrachiGarg has done a fabulous job in writing down these twenty stories of twenty startups which were started by women. Not just writing we can see how phenomenally research work for this is done. The book focuses more on what motivated these women to tread the untrodden path and how they fought to make their dreams a reality. Each of these ladies is an innovator, who saw a problem in the society that nobody else was looking at and then they turned it into their professions. These women literally chose to do what they love, and earn from it.
If  we look at this with a technical then again only praising will come out of our mouths. Perfect narrative skill with amazing writing skills.
I would to rate this book 5/5
Waiting for her next book coming by the end of December.

  I got the book in exchange of an honest review.Cover of the book is very catchy and cover also reflects something about the story. First impression of the book was very nice and it increased my excitement. The story revolves around 3 friends -Nishant, Suraj and Sachin,
I like the time travel concept.The story revolves around 3 friends -Nishant, Suraj and Sachin.
Pace of the book was just perfect and every chapter had something new and interesting. I was just lost in the story with extremely well characters. And i finished the book in one go. 
Story telling ability of the Author is also very. But in whole book there is only one problem i found in the book and the problem is narration. It could be little more impressive.
Overall it was a delightful read I will surely recommend it to all my readers.

First impression of the book is it’s last impression and when I saw the cover I was very disappointed with it, cover of the book was average, page quality was also average. Overall for me first impression of the book was average.
Story was also average. When I saw the title of the book I became little excited but story could be little more impressive. Writing style of the Author very simple and fine. Story  is also written in very simple language which is very easy to understand.
Honestly while reading I really tried a lot to connect with the characters but unfortunately I couldn’t. There was various grammatical mistakes I found.

Interview-with Sandeep Sharma

Let’s start the interview…

1.Tell us something about your background and you.
S.S- Starting with a way too formal answer from my side. Hello Ji, my name is Sandeep Sharma, born with few dreams and right now I am just following the path to make them a reality. My superhero is my father who never stops me to run away from the usual life and settle for my dream castle. By profession, I am an engineer.

2.What made you want to start writing, not just reading?
S.S- Let me take you few years back when I was a child. On one fine day, I saw my father burning a diary that was way too special for him. I knew nothing of that diary at that time but few years later, I got to know that diary contained his creations. That day, he wasn’t burning his diary but was burning his dreams. That burning diary transformed into a burning desire of a child. May be that was the day i thought, I will live the dream of my father.

3. What things have you read that have especially helped your writing?
S.S- I love to read Sydney Sheldon. He was the first one who shaped my writing style. Then came many other like Dan Brown, David Baldacci and in Indian writing, I love to read Amish Tripathi, Ashwin Sanghi and many other.

4.What’s the hardest thing about writing for you?
S.S- Hardest thing while writing is to decide upon the names of the character. Another thing that worries me a lot is writing some funny dialogues. You have to be really careful that it does tickles the funny bone of your reader or else it would be total waste and that will deject your reader from your book. While writing HDM3, it took me pretty long to make it picture perfect when it comes to writing something funny. Thankfully, it turned out good.

5.Do you feel like it was harder for you to get attention as a young author?
S.S-In today’s era, it is difficult for every debutant to get the attention he always wanted to have. You should have a perfect plan to jump in the writing field. In India, now-a-days, one books release everyday and within such a competition, surviving is a tough job. Thankfully, I had few of my friends who did great work to promote the book and helped me in every way possible.

6.Tell us something abaut your Book “Hey Dad Meet My My”? And why people should read this book?
S.S- Hey Dad meet my mom (HDM3) is India’s first Romantic comedy filled with horrifying suspense. It was an experiment to study the Indian readership. We wanted to deliver something that couldn’t be expected by having first look at the cover and the blurb as well. This book is the outcome of a great research and brilliant brains who worked tirelessly for it. You should read this book if you think that you want to read something different. Just like the title, even the story is unusual.

7.What is your advice for aspiring writers?
S.S- Have patience and don’t rely on anyone. Have faith on your work. Don’t write to earn money but to earn the reader for the story that you have written. For more advises, you can contact me anytime (*Winks*)

8. What do you wish you knew before you started?
S.S- It’s my new year resolution that I’ll not wish or expect anything.

9.What do your friends say about your writing habit?
S.S- *Laughs* Now this is the best question. Before I got published, everyone laughed (Except few) but now things have changed a lot. Those who laughed earlier are taking the autographs now.

10. What is your message to your readers?
S.S- The book in your hand is someone’s dream, respect it.

END..

1.What is your ambitions for your writing?
I had taken up writing as a means to create change in the way society thinks. that is why I chose to write self help books but not in the dry format. I try to imbibe them into a story form to create interest.

2 When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?
I had a passion for writing but i never wanted to be one. I wanted to create a change in the society. I used to express myself well in written format since i was a bit shy type expressing vocally. So I took up writing as the best medium to express my thoughts. thus the transition to a writer.

3 What do you think makes a good story?
Anything that is simple … which emotionally connects to a common man .. and the reader can relate to it, makes a good story.

4.Who is your inspiration?
Lot many of them. I get inspired very easily. everybody has something to inspire. I get inspired by women. They are most beautiful wonder God has created. They are more strong. They are disciplined. They are good motivators . They have compassion. Whenever I see a women do something extraordinary I tell myself if she can do wonders why cant you? Shree Amitabh Bachchan is my ideal.

5.Did you face any difficulties in publishing your 1st book?
Nothing new about this. Every new writer faces this. I got rejected from all publishers. So i had no option but to self publish.

6.What were you like at school?
A shy boy who was good in studies , good in arts wanting to excel in everything but an introvert.

A coach or a motivational speaker or a movie maker.

10. What do you see, where publishing industry is going in future?
Publishing industry is sitting on the verge where either it can die altogether or make a new mark for itself. Though technology has helped publishing but at the same time it has reduced paper back readers. The ebook has eaten away real book reader market. nothing great than possessing a book in physical form. Though technology has facilitated publishing industry. Now we can print books very fast and even there is a technology where books can be printed on demand. The challenge is to retain reader base for physical and traditional ways of reading.

12. What is your advice for aspiring writers?
My advice for aspiring writers is to keep writing. Many a writers die a premature death because they do not have belief in their product. There never has been a writer who can please all the masses. Some will like your book some wont. no matter. Just stick to the target audience you want to focus and keep writing and one day you will make the mark. There never has been any writer in this world who became an established writer in his first book. It takes at least 2-3 books for the world to recognize you as a writer. So just believe in yourself and keep writing.
