Evincepb Publishing: How you see Indian writing in the 21st century? What changes do you see in the modern way of writing? Do you feel it has been changed by the time?

Author:  Hyperreality, unreliable narrative, numerous protagonists, and other post-modern features can be found in 21st-century and current literature. While the writings from the late twentieth century were going through a change from the cutting edge, unified, individual, test way of thinking to the postmodern, decentralised way of thinking. Contemporary writers frequently consciously borrow ideas and inspiration from those who came before them.

Author: For readers, I would say,  it’s a great fun that you listen, read and watch ideal thoughts even in modern times though they are not practical and you keep following the routine. Glorious days are here again. Enjoy whole heartedly without least bothering the preaching. For budding authors, I would say, it’s not necessary for all to go through any odd, hazardous experiences. Let your heart and brain be spacious enough to accommodate all sorts of events, persons, places.
