Questionnaires:
Neel Preet: Firstly, Congratulations on your book, “Welcome To Second Spring – Unpausing Your Beauty In And Around Menopause” Well, can you please share your experience about making your work come into the form of book!
Dr. Nita Sharma Das: Writing this book is my honest effort to give a positive direction to the emotional challenges often women feel about their ethereal beauty that impacts their holistic wellbeing during the menopausal transition. This starts from the perimenopause stage and ends with post-menopause. Age-appropriate self-care and beauty treatment along with uplifting mental health tips mentioned in this book will definitely help readers to gain a detailed understanding and awareness that can motivate them to take care of themselves. I personally feel beauty care at this age is a remedy for liveliness.
Neel Preet: I’ve read your book & I feel that it’s a “True Guide” for the women entering the phase of menopause. So what inspired you to write this book?
Dr. Nita Sharma Das: I am involved with medical and scientific writing for many years. I write for national and international magazines with a special focus on women’s health and essential skin-beauty treatments. And then gradually I realized to share my knowledge and express my thoughts in my own way. So, I founded NitaNaturale where I regularly share blog posts on essential herbs, superfoods, simple lifestyle measures. Apart from that, I love to listen to people, their concerns, and views of life, those give me a deep understanding and that encouraged me to write a book.
I just want to add here, firm family support inspires one to flourish and I am lucky in this. My husband is the biggest critic of my writing which boosts me to research more before writing even a single sentence. My daughter always loves my concepts and gives me a boost to continue my writing till it is not done.
Neel Preet: Your book is written in a great manner and it covers some great information as well. So, what was the impetus behind this work of yours?
Dr. Nita Sharma Das: COVID lockdown has given space to think deeply about growing age. I always want to look beautiful, graceful, and mature with age, rather than being an age-defying beauty. I realize that my reproductive biological clock is ticking up, so this is the right time to give a safeguard to my physical appearance. After I started researching this topic I thought I should pen down all the acquired knowledge to help other women. Hence, I started writing ‘Welcome To Second Spring’, my second book.
Neel Preet: While writing this book what was your mind-set? How had you gathered information regarding the subject matters covered in your book?
Dr. Nita Sharma Das: ‘Welcome to Second Spring’ is my second book and my first book was on Herbal Remedy. I write in the non-fiction category, so you can understand that the backbone is always robust research, and scientific evidence to support the subject matters covered in ‘Welcome To Second Spring’.
My academic background and experiences reinforce the information included in this book. Apart from this, I do lots of research to know the current trend of managing skin health, hair quality, and mental health support system.
Neel Preet: Apart from the Health & Lifestyle category, from which other genre would you like to contribute in the literary world.
Dr. Nita Sharma Das: I am an aspiring author. At this stage, I cannot guide you. But I can share that I feel that book writing is not a passion, but a huge responsibility towards readers as they give their valuable time. Therefore, adding information that actually adds value to the reader’s life will always be my commitment in my book writing journey.
Neel Preet: Studying the subject matter of this book, I’m greatly impressed & I want you to explain us, in your version that, how this book is relevant in the present day scenario!
Dr. Nita Sharma Das: Currently, health-conscious people give more importance to the preventive aspect of health care. ‘Welcome To Second Spring’ focuses on holistic wellness by giving a positive direction to emotional conundrums often women felt about their ethereal beauty.
After starting the writing of Welcome to second spring, I am surprised that along with traditional conventional skincare regimens, the cosmetic industry and dermatological services work hard to find out effective solutions for mature skincare. May the awareness helps readers to select appropriate products and beauty services.
Neel Preet: Ma’am you were very straightforward with your writings in your book, which I really appreciate. So next, I want you to tell us about some of those writers or health advisors, who had inspired you!
Dr. Nita Sharma Das: My collections are mostly of medical journals, and magazines. Reading updated information and on-going research works always inspired me to reconnoitre new innovations in the healthy living aspects.
Neel Preet: Is there any message that you would like to convey to your readers? Or any piece of advice, which you would like to give to the readers out there!
Dr. Nita Sharma Das: Do the necessary steps to care for our skin, hair, and mental health to avoid abrupt physical changes during the menopausal transition. Live care-free and accept the changes gracefully to live a healthy and enjoyable life which itself will make you look and feel beautiful.
Neel Preet: Are there any other books being worked by you? Please let us know about your future projects.
Dr. Nita Sharma Das: I will definitely write another book, but nothing outlined yet but surely it will be health-related as that is my forte.
Neel Preet: Thank you so much for answering all my questions. All the very best to you for future and your book too!
Dr. Nita Sharma Das: Thank you so much Neel Preet, for guiding me through this interactive session. I love to support every reader in their beauty journey. I have mentioned in the book that I will give one-hour free consultation to the readers. I believe readers are the true inspiration for every author.
