Now, whether it will be loved or not isnвЂ™t in my hands. As a writer, I can write an engaging story that will connect with readers. I just write a story that will evoke emotions in the reader. If there was a formula, publishers would be going crazy with joy. How do you know that a particular book will click? Is there a formula for writing best-sellers? YSW: Your books have all been best-sellers. I finally decided to exit all WhatsApp groups and stayed away from the news to concentrate on writing. So, for all those who felt that the lockdown was a blessing for writers who could just isolate themselves and write, I would like to say it was a crazy time. Just behind my home, there was an isolation centre and daily there were more than 20-30 ambulances coming and it took a toll on my writing. Even as writers, we were not sure when the bookshops would open again. There was so much negativity around be it on news channels or on WhatsApp. But the difficult part was to gather my thoughts and keep calm. I do agree that it wasnвЂ™t difficult to cope up as even prior to the lockdown, I worked from home. YSW: Did you write the book during the lockdown? What was the experience like? You have to give yourself chances before you finally meet your soulmate. Everyone will tell you to be with the right person but how do you find that person. I have always believed that a person may be wrong, but love cannot be. SN: I have interacted with readers who have stopped reading romance novels because they have been betrayed in love. YSW: We live in a country with a young population that is also cynical about love? Does your book attempt to change that? It will make you believe that even arrange marriages are beautiful. So, if you are someone who is struggling with your fears, anxieties and depression, A Second Chance will give you strength, hope and courage. No matter what mistake youвЂ™ve made, quitting is just an easy escape. Trust me, itвЂ™s the greatest gift that you can give to yourself. So, I firmly believe, each one of us should give ourselves a second chance. No matter how difficult life becomes, you have to remember that a new dawn awaits but only if you are willing to embrace it. Why should you make an effort to bounce back in life? Why should you give your life a second chance? Because you can. And the result? Everyone goes through negative feelings and they start feeling that they are trapped in a world of darkness. We sometimes commit mistakes and sometimes we take a wrong path in life. SN: DonвЂ™t you think so? We are not perfect. YSW: Does it reflect your thinking that everyone deserves a second chance in life? She feels she is unlucky in the matters of love and relationships. She is also someone whoвЂ™s okay with reading and watching love stories but believes love isnвЂ™t meant for her. Disha is shy and wary and she finds it difficult to make friends. I really enjoyed writing DishaвЂ™s character in this book because you will find some nuances of her in every girl around you. ItвЂ™s your life, you deserve to be happy and you should definitely give yourself a second chance. There are so many youngsters out there who just lose faith in love with one failed relationship and start hating the idea of love. That was when I realised that even I had given myself a second chance in love. He wished for one more chance to prove himself and thatвЂ™s when the thought of second chances struck me. I still remember meeting my friend at one of my college reunions where he expressed, he was going through a dull phase in his life. Sudeep Nagarkar (SN): I wanted to write about arranged marriages and at the same time wanted to showcase the dilemma that comes along with it.
