“I developed an interest in writing after I started reading a lot” – Samridhhi Mandawat
Samridhhi Mandawat was just like an ordinary girl who used to go to school every day and play with her friends. She was very fond of small fictional cartoon comics like Chacha Chaudhary, Bal Ganesh, and Twinkle. This is how her interest developed, “I didn’t want to become a writer or poet from my childhood days. But gradually, when reading books and attending a couple of workshops, my interest started developing in this field.
Many motivating factors in her life turned her towards writing. Samridhhi Mandawat used to read both fiction and non-fiction books. Her favorite fiction books – ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ by John Green and ‘The Kite Runner’ by Khaled Hosseini. Now, as a strategy consultant, she is only into reading non-fiction books; a few of them are ‘The World Is Flat’ and ‘The Commanding Heights,’ and the list continues.
I read a book by ‘Shiv Khera,’ and the line from the book that changed my perspective about life is – ‘do something worth remembering, something that immortalizes you.’ We, as human beings, all are mortal beings. I became more inheritable by this particular quote and decided to become a writer, in the anticipation that my books would immortalize myself.”
“Whenever you write something, it should connect to the soul of a person” – Samridhhi Mandawat

“I have written poems inspired by real incidents” – Samridhhi Mandawat
Samridhhi Mandawat’s poems are always related to the women’s actual experiences. “I used to talk to the women undergoing certain experiences in their lives, and after talking and listening to them, I converted those feelings into the poem.”
Few lines from the poem which she had written –
A Widow which Masturbates: “The strokes of my fingers were smooth,
Inside out in a rhythm they moved.
The room is closed,
The lights are off.
I’m in a state of self actualization
Or liberation –
But the world, I know
Shall abuse this as masturbation.
The strokes of my fingers were smooth,
Inside out in a rhythm they moved.”
“Economics is a subject that attracts me” – Samridhhi Mandawat
Samridhhi Mandawat is very passionate about the subject – Economics. It attracted her. so she started to express her thoughts about the subject. But the author felt that she needed more polishing. So, Samridhhi Mandawat got in touch with many scholars, economists, and academicians across the globe, who helped her enhance her thoughts and gain command over the subject. Then, Samridhhi Mandawat thought of writing a book, and a simple conversation about culture blending with economics with Dr. Ram Charan (Prof. Harvard Business School) intrigued her more.
This discussion increased Samridhhi Mandawat’s interest, and she started to think about the blend of economics and religion, technology, and culture. “I had several questions in my mind that I wanted to know and wanted to draw public attention on the same. So, I started working on these interesting topics and attempted to pull the society towards these topics through my book.”
The author believes that everyone should do something notable for themselves and society. “Humanity is a subjective affair – for me, it is personal and intimate.”
