1. Tell
us more about your background and journey.
It was at the age of seven when I was a student in Delhi Public School, Jammu that I first started writing. And with that start, I published my very first book titled, "Poems by Sahaj Sabarwal" at the age of 17. The book is a collection of diverse poems based on the social issues and the life of the youth.
Following that, I published my second book titled "Pedagogical Thoughts Made Facts" at the age of 19, which is again a book containing poetries, thoughts, quotes, stories, and articles aiming for bringing positivity in the lives of readers. Presently, I am pursuing Aeronautical Engineering from Tamil Nadu besides my interests in writing, rapping, and blogging.
2. As
a young writer, where does your inspiration for writing lie?
During my initial years into writing, I
encountered severe, harsh criticisms from others. People were against the idea
of a student publishing his own book at such a young age and should rather
focus on studies and build a stable career. This is not something pleasant for
anyone. I tried to turn such backlashes into an inspiration for me to do
something better, something unique. And now I believe it is that feeling which
has always inspired me to write and helped me achieve what I have now.
My first book was not that much
successful because many were not ready to support me. But again, I continued
writing with the same passion and my second book showed some good results. So I
would say that it is my passion and zeal to write better and believe in myself
which has been the inspiration behind my every write-up.
3. What
prompted you to start writing along with your school studies?
When I was small, I wrote a poem for my
mother on Mother's Day. My mom loved it. Everyone was proud that I could write
a beautiful poem with deep thoughts at such a young age. I would say it was
this small incident that made me recognize my talent in writing. And then I
started writing articles and poems, and that poem on my mother is also
published in my first book.
4. What
is that one cause you care deeply about and why?
It is not quite possible to name just one cause because there are various social issues revolving around youth that need attention from society. There are children getting raped, students attempting suicide, and getting into addictions and these are just to name a few.
The major reason behind these rising issues is the lack of proper education and awareness. Perpetrators do not realise that what they are doing is wrong, and victims usually are not aware of their rights. I would say that looking at these social causes and how youth is getting directly affected by them made me write these books.
5. If
one wants to contribute and make a difference in social causes then how do you
believe one can do it?
Some might argue that it is the
responsibility of the government to make laws and prevent such issues. But, in
reality, it is all in the hands of we individuals.
We can all contribute at our individual
level, to our best capacity, and make small efforts to create a difference. For
instance, I have been writing poems, articles, blogs, and rap songs, all based
on social issues and with the aim to create awareness among people. Similarly,
all of us can contribute in our way and, I believe, even the tiniest bit of
contribution from someone can help.
We can take steps from educating at a
larger scale to educating our family members at home. We can do social media
campaigns and drives because, in this digital era, social media is a very
powerful tool to create awareness. It might not always be very successful, we
might not be able to teach a large number of people. But even if one person
benefits from it, then, I believe, it is quite a success and we thrive to
achieve more.
6. Who
is your role model and why?
We, as social animals, live in and learn from society. Our ideas and beliefs get socialized, which might be good while also bad at times. I consider society as my role model because it is from society that I learned everything and also continue to learn.
I write on social
causes and strive to make society better. The people surrounding us, each with
their unique talent and charisma, motivate us to do better. So, I would say
that society is my perfect teacher and also a perfect friend.
