In this interview, we will talk with Mousumi about her new book ‘Making Impossible Possible‘

‘Making Impossible Possible’ is a motivational book carrying a true inspirational story. It brings the picture of the slum and working children on streets, their dreams and hopes.

I am known as the children’s friend and my heart aches for the deprived children when I see them on the streets begging, wiping the car windows and seeking money. One day, I happened to know a person on social media who was a slum child but today he is an educated gentleman working for the education of the street children. His story is an inspiration behind this book.

There were indeed many challenges throughout the journey of writing this book. The book carries a true account and I had constant difficulties in taking down the story and be in touch with the protagonist. I had to study the plight of the slum and street children personally to know their dreams, hopes and struggles. I had to manage time with my daily working schedule, college lectures, exam duties, editing books , meeting deadlines and writing this book with emotions.

Life is full of challenges. And these challenges can be shaped in the frame of a book. Life of an author is to live life in real as well as in imagination.

My only mantra is to keep smiling at every situation which helps me to  defeat all the fears of life.

There is no specific process in my case. I do not follow any distinct steps of prewriting, drafting, revising and editing. I pen down as thoughts proceed and the story moves. It is a flow and it ends definitely with editing.

Yes, everything is special about this book. It is a true account of a slum child and carries inspirational chapters for the young dreamers. The book has no profit motive but is a step towards my  mission to help the slum and the street children.

Good Language, Creativity with attractive style of writing which may vary from one writer to another  and  most importantly patience as only patience can lead to a beautiful finished manuscript.

I am already on the way to it. My next book will also carry true accounts with a message to the present generation.

I would request all the budding writers to brush up their grammar skills while framing sentences. Punctuation is again a field, where every writer must be careful because a single punctuation mark can change the meaning of a sentence. Write with your heart but do not keep your brain aside. Avoid too many complex sentences as a book must be easily read by all. However, the beauty of language with new words and creativity must always be encouraged.  Writing is a long journey. There is no end to learning and exploring.
