There are many coincidences that keep on happening in my life. And yet another one here. I prepared 17 questions for our FICTION DESIGNER. And in reply, I got – “Dear Shreeju! Why 17 questions? Is it because 17 is my favourite number?” I was just still with jaw opened for some time and smiled. 😁😁 Anyway, let’s be on topic.
1. Most of your readers imagine the colour black with your name. What might be the reason?
⇒ BLACK refers to darkness. Since I am a lover of darkness, Black reflects in my writing.
2. Incase if BLACK wasn’t in existence, from which colour NAGARKOTI’s readers would remember him?
⇒ Yellow.
3. Which movie quaked your mind recently?
⇒ BORGMAN. A Dutch psychological thriller.

13. What’s your view on fashion?

16. What would be the next, fiction or fact?
⇒ Fiction.
17. Finally, what’s GHAAT on your eyes?
