Well talking to her is actually like that. You will need to use all your navarasa most of the times. A group gets loud and enthusiastic the minute she enters the room. And I am not exaggerating any of these. When I first agreed to do the author spotlight I was afraid because I hadn&#8217;t read much of her book (I purchased it as soon as it was available) and I knew I was up for a punch from her for that. Then they said I can write about the author and I was like &#8220;Hell yeah! That&#8217;s my kinda post&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is hard to find a passionate person these days I happen to stumble across a whole bunch of them. When she barely knew me she approached me to be her photographer for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/marinatedmind\/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Make It 2 story series<\/a> she was featuring on Facebook page. That was one new experience to go and interview people randomly about Love. It sure was fun. Her stand up comedy is another thing I love. I go and sit among the audience if she is performing. For I don&#8217;t see that many women try to embrace the comic in them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aratrikaspeaks.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/12\/dsc03694.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-348\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-348 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/aratrikaspeaks.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/12\/dsc03694.jpg?w=700\" alt=\"DSC03694\" width=\"700\" height=\"583\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/aratrikaspeaks.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/12\/dsc03745.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-349\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-349 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/aratrikaspeaks.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/12\/dsc03745.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"DSC03745\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A person who knows what she wants also never fails to encourage and appreciate someone for their hard work.
