#AuthorInterview: Rituparna Ray Chaudhuri
Teaching is also learning: hence, my writing on the net at first was Macbeth as a Tragic hero. I had earned lots of positive comments and inspiration.

#PoetInterview: Nivedita Tomar
Ideas for my poems have myriad sources. Things as they happen around me. People with whom I come into contact. Nature as I experience it. Books that I read. Bewilderment that my soul experiences.

#AuthorInterview: Neharika Gupta
Hello Neharika, thank you so much for taking the time out to talk to BUZZ Magazine. ☺ First things first: how did you take up writing? I was born this way! In all seriousness, I think in class III or IV I was asked to write something for my school magazine, a short article on dussehra. My grandmother would tell me religious stories when I was a kid, and I guess I was the most knowledgeable about this in class at that age. I was also one of the youngest students to be published in the school magazine. What was your very first attempt at creative writing? I wrote a…

Interview with “Black Cat” director, Bhargav Saikia
I was introduced to Ruskin Bond by a family friend and he generously agreed to meet me at his residence in Landour in July, 2016.

This is always far from the truth because there is more to life than just cause and effect! Falling Into Place is a novel that uses non-linear timeline and an unlikely narrator to make one understand that our exteriors often don’t mirror what is going on in our minds.

#BookReview: This Song Will Save Your Life
The first time I read a Leila Sales novel was two years ago. I had ordered "Tonight the Streets are Ours" because the premise of that story felt oddly familiar. I was a little disappointed by the story. This Song Will Save Your Life kept popping up in my recommendations, because of my love for young adult fiction and my previous Leila Sales purchase. I finally caved and read the book two weeks ago. First of all, let me tell you that Elise is an extremely relatable character. The need to have friends, to be noticed is strong in every loner teenager. The story certainly made me have very painful…
