Timid Fingers: First
I would like to congratulate on your new book. Tell me something about yourself
which your readers can’t find from the printed author bio.
Arpit Dugar: Publishers
have done a decent job in writing about the most of me. The few things left are
that I am fond of eating and reading, I love riding bike and I am making my own
videos on making mathematics simpler.
TF: As your new book
has already hit the stands, what made you write about the Déjà vu concept?
AD: Déjà vu is something that surrounds me once or twice a day, so there is a personal attachment to the theme. Also that it happens with everyone, it becomes a generic theme to write upon.

TF: As your first
book ‘Nothing For You My Dear’ was a national bestseller, what expectation do
you have for this book?
AD: I am pretty
confident about the reader’s feedback on this work, they will love the
thrilling and romantic ride of this book. I am in conversations with production
houses to get it converted into a Bollywood script.
TF: What do you
think, are you able to fulfill the expectation of your readers by this book?
What kind of response you are getting from your readers?
AD: Till date
around 3000 copies have been sold and the feedbacks are good. Readers are
loving the plot and the characters.
TF: In the huge crowd
of love story writers, where do you place yourself?
AD: My works are
not just love stories but a source of inspiration to keep moving ahead in life.
Setbacks are there in everyone’s life but that must not stop you moving ahead
for larger goals.
TF: Your first book
was published in 2009 and second book is in 2014, can you share this journey
with your readers?
AD: The journey
had been highly interesting and difficult at the same time. Interesting because
of the immense response of the debut work and the expectations to read the next
from me. And was difficult as to I am a person who can never write under some
pressure or timelines. So I took my time
to complete the script and which took almost 5 years.
But the love of readers and friends was ecstatic and that
served as a source of energy for me to give more time to writing.
TF: When you look
back in time, do you have any regret or anything you want to change if you are
given one chance?
AD: I love
challenges in life as without which life becomes meaningless. There is nothing
in the past that I regret about, I would rather observe the present more and
work for a better future.
TF: Can you enlighten
about the ‘www.practiceguru.in’?
AD: Practiceguru.in
is my child. Started with this venture way back in 2006 with a niche idea of
providing test series and study material at very minimal costs to the students
in the remotest corners of the country.
TF: First it was
Srishti, and now it is Flying Pen, any specific reason for changing the
publisher?
AD: The lack of
trust and no communication with the previous publishers set me off completely.
I had no option but to switch. But I will always be thankful to them for giving
me the initial start in my literary career.
TF: If you are asked
to write anything except love story, what genre will you choose?
AD: The Idea of
India
TF: Hope your this
book hit the chords among your readers and became a bestseller as well. Few
words for your readers and for Timid Finger’s blog…
AD: I love you
all and would keep writing for you. Keep reading and do share feedbacks as they
help me a lot to mould my ways while arranging the plot of the story.
