Gaurav Sharma
Gaurav Sharma with a little bit of this and that, has already overwhelmed the world as an author of 4 books with his literary and academic skills. “Gone are the Days” is a fiction and nowadays on the promotion spree. He is a bigshot already and carries a swag in abundance. But there’s more to him than the number of books he has authored, his witty charm, which has been lately sparkled in a rapid-fire rendezvous amid rapid sends. Dive in further to befriend him because he is obsessed with food, video games, and chaiya chaiya song. Yes, in that order. Totally your kinda guy!
- Gaurav, tell us a little about yourself? Perhaps something not many people know?
Ans: I don’t know how much of an importance does this bear but I often dream about jumping off a building and seconds before hitting the ground I wake up. I have been dreaming like this since past 20 years now. I don’t know why this happens. Do you know? And don’t tell me to Google it.
- What is your favorite place to write, and why?
Ans: A place devoid of people and noise becomes my favorite place to write. Perhaps, my brain derives creativity out of zero and solitude.
- What is the most amusing thing that has ever happened to you?
Ans: I think the most amusing thing is still about to happen in life. However, knowing that there is someone who understands you is a great thing, I realized lately.

- Million dollar question, if the entire world is a stage, where does the audience sit?
Ans: Audience sits on the pile of shit.
- If electricity comes from electrons, does morality comes from morons?
Ans: In a way, yes! Morons help us know what must not be included as a standard of morality. So, not practicing what morons do is morality itself.
- What are some of your favorite words, and why?
Ans: Favorite words keep on changing depending on my needs and their context of usage. But ‘Shit’ is one of my favorite words in the English language. I subconsciously use it almost daily. It seems to be the most functional word in the English language.
I mean, you can buy shit, tell shit, lose shit, find shit, forget shit, fuck shit, tell others to eat shit and write shit. Besides, you can have too much shit, not enough shit, the right shit and the wrong shit and with people who are dumb shit, crazy shit, horse shit and what not! I mean it’s BULLSHIT!

- If I wasn’t afraid I would……. Try writing romance fiction.
- If a genie granted you three wishes, what would they be?
Ans: I wish I could have my faith in God. I wish I could eliminate money. Rather, not let it be created in the first place. I wish I could become a filthy rich atheist!
- If you could go to the past or future, where would you stay and why?
Ans: Past has gone and it was not that great. Future gives some hope. So I would like to go see my future.
- Name one thing that drives you crazy.
Ans: Close encounter with smokers live in action drives me nuts.

Ans: I was born in a Punjabi family, spent my childhood in Bihar, moved to Delhi and then to Canada. I chose science stream after grade tenth so that I could become an engineer; ended up being admitted to a journalism program. After that, studied business and now planning to study journalism again. Isn’t that funny?
Normally, people establish themselves as a professional by the age of 25. However, I would be studying for 2 more years and by the age of 27 figure out what to do with my life. What funnier could I ask for?
- If you had to endure one natural disaster (i.e. hurricane, tornado, etc), what would you pick and why?
