Monika Gupta: I wish to keep writing as it gives me immense contentment and would surely like to publish a collection of my poems.

LiFT: Are you working on your own book? If yes, please tell us something about it.
Monika Gupta: Yes, I am. I wish to compile my poems into an anthology that would mirror some of the very commonly experienced feelings, dilemmas, expectations and disappointments faced in human relationships. Also, I wish to include some nature poetry in my anthology.
LiFT: What are your suggestions to the budding writers/poets so that they could improve their writing skills?
