In Conversation with Jagruti Mistry – Bookers paradise

 

In Conversation with The Author,  of “ Silenty Noisy….my mind….minds speaking ".

Jagruti is the Co-founder Director of a Medical Tourism organization. She is a very optimistic and positive person. Currently, she is working on her own Healthcare organization called Travel Health Support. She has also recently started podcasting which is now streaming on Spotify. Let us know more about her in this interview.



Q1) Every author has a story from where they began their writing journey. Tell us about the start of your journey.

Ans : Ohh absolutely. Writing for me started more than a decade back, but back then I used to write and scrap my writings. Not because of the lack of confidence but because I didn’t want anyone to comment or have an opinion on the content, it felt very personal somehow. I still don’t know the reason why I was so closed, however, I would like to leave it at that.

Then something happened, somehow on the day of actor Sushant Sing Rajput’s demise, I felt the need of sharing my experiences with the world. Everybody started talking about how COVID has made it difficult for them, and I thought, people were living in their minds more. The same day I started blogging on Medium.com. Silently Noisy was the name that just came to me, I didn’t have to do much brainstorming, it kind of just fitted in. This is when I gave writing an official name and then, the feedbacks started flowing in. A lot of people started acknowledging me for bringing up certain topics because it gave them a perspective. That inspired me to continue writing.  

Q2) “Silently Noisy-----my mind….minds speaking “is written by you. How did you decide the plot of the book and what was your inspiration behind? Also, attach the link for the purchase of the book



Ans : Well as I mentioned, SSR and COVID inspired. And frankly, there was no specific plot. I just wrote my mind. Basis our routine instances I picked up topics and everything just felt in the right flow. All of us have a lot of questions and many times these questions are never discussed, this book will talk to you and probably answer the unanswered questions. You have to read it to believe it J

The interesting part is the flip-a-page concept, if you are subconsciously thinking about something and need an answer, just take the book and randomly flip the pages; once you arrive on a page read the first line which grabs your attention; you may just get your answer.

Link to my book

https://www.amazon.in/Silently-Noisy-mind-minds-speaking/dp/9354728480/ref=sr_1_1?crid=141R1CPB4BPL1&keywords=silently+noisy&qid=1679385122&sprefix=silently+noisy%2Caps%2C277&sr=8-1

Q3) A lot of young authors want to have a career in writing but feel under-confident at times. What would be your advice to them?

Ans : If you love writing and sharing your thoughts, just go ahead. I feel there is no right and wrong, it’s just how our perspectives are built. As they say, “Sharing is caring”.  I recently shared a quote on instagram, (it’s an original one) here goes. “If there is no affection, there will be no intention”.

So if you have an affection towards whatever you do, you will definitely have an intention. Just flow.

Q4) From writing the initial draft to working on the final draft it surely requires a lot of effort. What was the most challenging process in your writing career?

Ans : I probably was blessed to have no challenges here, at least I thought I didn’t have anything stopping me. I built a consistency of blogging for over 2 years. Though I have a full-fledged career in healthcare I chose to write. There were a few people in my network and some international authors who told me to convert these blogs into a book. After one-two months of thinking and implementing, in the next 6 months I had my book, I was so excited.

Let me tell you something here, the entire blogging was done post-work hours, between 12 am to 4 am. I never really felt tired or bugged or inconsistent. I really loved to do what I did, maybe the purpose was very clear and that gave me happy vibes.  

Q5) Is there any message you want to give to the readers?



Ans: I would love them to share their experience of reading my book.

After reading my book I think, a lot of you will have a smile, a lot of you will resonate with the content and a lot of you will also get some of your answers. I have written this book with the genuine intent of sharing my thoughts without any filter. I have kind of talked to myself while writing this one. You will surely enjoy the content. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my book J

 

Q6) Tell us something about your hobbies and why do you think hobbies are important for a person ?



Ans : I love to sketch, sing, also thinking ;) yes, I love thinking. I spend an hour in a day only thinking, and that’s the best thing I like about my day.

Hobbies are like meditation, we are totally immersed while we are at it and that’s the beauty of having hobbies. Everyone has a creative side I think. If you find a person with multiple creative traits, that person has really worked on finding them I believe. So find one and see your life change.
