I have always been in my own good books for being an avid reader since childhood. I used to read a lot, a lot more than doing anything else, for reading is what I enjoyed more than anything else. I still do.

At a later stage in life, much after I became an editor at the age of 53, I was bitten by the writing bug. I wanted to write but didn't know what to write.

It was only very recently that I could fulfil my wish and wrote a series of articles on various topics.

I have compiled them together under the title,

        RANDOM THOUGHTS 

 

                        BY

              POONAM MALIK 

         (FIRST-TIME AUTHOR)

Maybe, this debut collection of my thoughts will be considered of some value by amateur authors, or may give some readers a jolly good time Or maybe, who knows, it just might fetch me the valuable winner tag at a writing competition. A random thought, no?

I am keeping my fingers crossed, till you read the book and give me some much-valued feedback.

Although, I don't think I will have to remain satisfied with the 'One-time author' tag yet I know that it will depend as much on me as to how much I can write in the future as well on you, dear readers, as to how much you appreciate my writing.

I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Please do let me know what you think about the book, after you have finished reading.

Very deep thoughts put so interestingly. The mind sure is the our power mine. The stories make the readers sit up and ponder. Especially liked the stories on the Mind, the blind men’s elephant, and also the birth of Krishna. Your style of writing is so unique; at many place a, it seemed you are reading out the stories to me. Waiting for more.

Reading Random Thoughts by Poonam Malik was a pleasant experience, it is as if travelling thru life with its ups and downs but constantly a thread of hope and positivity holds you. Her language flows like a river with its rhythm and natural force. Keep it up Poonam Malik.

The best part about reading Random thoughts is that it reflects how the writer is observant, thoughtful and a beautiful writer. Her craft is seamless and the mind is beautiful. Hope to see more of your writings Ma'am. Keep going.

It has almost been a decade since the writer's bug bit me and I realised that the one and only block I was facing was the fact that I had absolutely no idea as to what to write about. However, I was lucky enough to find a mentor, Mr. Rajendra Soni who guided budding writers online. After joining his community of aspiring writers whom he termed writopreneurs, l started my writing journey. This book, my first one, is the result of my efforts under his training. I took to writing about my experiences and observations in my day-to-day life. Nothing serious, nothing remarkable, just some interesting pieces of life around and mine too.
