In Conversation with Rutika Ravindra Chandvilkar author of Saath hai par anjane se

Q How did you come up with the title of your book?

Each poem in my book is inspired by a kind of love that felt close, yet strangely distant at the same time. That emotion led me to the title ‘Saath Hai Par Anjane Se. Q What inspired you to write this book? My love for reading naturally led me to writing poetry during my college days. Over time, I began to dream of creating my own poetry book—something I could share with the world and cherish on my bookshelf. One afternoon, I discovered BookLeaf Publishing’s 21-day challenge and decided to take a chance. That decision became one of the best choices of my life Q Among all themes and topics, why did you choose this one in particular? My writing is often inspired by my own life experiences. I chose this theme because I have a deep love for poetry and believe it is the most powerful way to express emotions. Q What personal experiences have shaped your writing the most? One of the most powerful experiences that shaped my writing is loving someone wholeheartedly yet never being able to tell them. I channel those unspoken feelings into poetry Q What does being a published author mean to you, beyond seeing your words in print? Being a published author means more than holding a book in my hands—it means turning silence into words, emotions into expression, and finding a connection with hearts I may never meet. Q What can we, as readers expect from this book? Readers can expect a journey through emotions that show how love doesn’t always require togetherness—we can still love someone deeply even if they are not with us Q How do you expect your readers to use this book optimally? I would encourage readers to engage with the book at a personal level—taking time to reflect on each poem and allowing it to resonate with their own experiences and emotions.
