AuthorsWiki: Apart from writing, what do you do professionally?
Sonu Sharma: I am an HR professional with over 15 years of experience in HR leadership roles. My professional journey has given me the opportunity to work closely with people, understand different perspectives, and navigate complex situations—experiences that have also influenced the way I think and write.
AuthorsWiki: Tell us about your first book.
Sonu Sharma: My first book, Shri Krishn – The Unbounded Hero, is an attempt to explore Krishna as more than just a mythological or religious figure. Drawing inspiration from the Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita, the book examines Krishna as a strategist, mentor, friend, and guide who navigates complex human dilemmas.
Rather than simply retelling familiar stories, the book focuses on the psychological and ethical depth of His character—how He responds to doubt, leads without attachment, and balances power with compassion. My aim was to present Krishna in a way that speaks not only to spiritual readers but also to anyone wrestling with questions of duty, identity, purpose, and the complexities of modern life.
AuthorsWiki: Would you like to tell us about your published books?
Sonu Sharma: Shri Krishn – The Unbounded Hero is my first full-length and formally structured book. Although I have previously self-published a few poetry collections, this is my first complete and definitive work.
AuthorsWiki: Where did you find the inspiration to write and publish books?
Sonu Sharma: In my life, I see Krishna as the source of all inspiration and strength. My mother was a devoted follower of Krishna, and from early childhood, I grew up listening to His stories and absorbing His teachings. Over time, those narratives quietly shaped my thinking and perspective. When I began to recognize a genuine inclination toward writing within myself, it felt only natural to dedicate my work to the One I believe blessed me with that ability.
AuthorsWiki: How do you manage your time while writing a book?
Sonu Sharma: It was not an easy journey. As a working professional and a full-time father of two, finding the right environment and mental space to shape thoughts into meaningful words was challenging. Yet, as I have always believed, Krishna is the source of everything. In moments when time seemed scarce and energy was limited, I somehow found both the clarity and creativity I needed to write about Him.
AuthorsWiki: What is your favorite writing method—the one through which you write the most?
Sonu Sharma: I do not follow a rigid writing routine. My most productive method is what I would call on-the-spot writing. I usually begin with a question and allow the thought to unfold naturally. I prefer writing during quiet hours when there are minimal distractions because clarity of mind is essential for the kind of themes I explore. I often begin with voice notes before developing those ideas digitally. For me, writing is less about speed and more about depth. I revisit passages multiple times until the language feels honest, balanced, and true to what I want to express.
AuthorsWiki: When did you start writing, and how did your interest in writing begin?
Sonu Sharma: I began writing seriously only a few years ago, although the seeds were planted much earlier. As a teenager, I developed a deep interest in reading, particularly philosophical and mindfulness-related works. Over time, I realized that certain ideas would stay with me long after I had finished a book, and I felt the need to respond to them in my own words.
My interest in writing did not begin with a desire to become an author. It began with a habit of questioning and reflecting. While reading texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and stories from the Mahabharata, I found myself interpreting them through a modern lens.
I started jotting down thoughts, observations, and personal reflections—initially just for myself and on my LinkedIn wall. Gradually, those private notes evolved into more structured ideas, eventually leading me toward writing a book.
AuthorsWiki: Is there any special achievement in your life that you would like to share with our readers?
Sonu Sharma: I deeply believe in the power of gratitude. Once you truly embrace it, you begin to notice, count, and celebrate even the smallest blessings around you. For me, writing about Krishna and having the opportunity to share my thoughts on such a respected platform is not something I take lightly. It is a meaningful achievement that I receive with sincere gratitude and appreciation.
AuthorsWiki: Are you planning to write or publish more books in the future?
Sonu Sharma: Yes, I absolutely plan to continue writing and publishing in the future. My first book, Shri Krishn – The Unbounded Hero, marked the beginning of a much larger creative journey for me. Going forward, I hope to write more about themes such as mental health and emotional well-being, men’s psychology, and the lived experiences of fatherhood. For me, writing is not a single milestone but an evolving conversation with life itself. I certainly see more books taking shape in the years ahead.
AuthorsWiki: What message would you like to share with your readers and fans?
Sonu Sharma: To my readers, I would simply say, “Thank you.” In a world full of noise and endless distractions, choosing to spend your time with a book is a powerful decision. Your attention, love, and openness mean more to an author than you may realize. If there is one message I would leave you with, it is this: never stop questioning, never stop learning, and never underestimate the strength within you. Whether through the stories of the Bhagavad Gita, reflections from the Mahabharata, or your own lived experiences, wisdom often appears when we are willing to pause and listen.
AuthorsWiki: Every writer has someone who inspires them. Do you have an ideal writer, and what are some of your favorite books or works that you return to?
Sonu Sharma: I wouldn’t say I have one single ideal writer. I am deeply influenced by thinkers who combine depth with clarity—those who can explore complex moral and psychological questions through simple yet powerful language.
Much of my inspiration comes from timeless works rather than individual modern authors. The philosophical dialogue of the Bhagavad Gita continues to influence the way I think and write. Among contemporary voices, I greatly admire Dale Carnegie and Akshat Gupta.
AuthorsWiki: Apart from writing, what hobbies do you enjoy in your free time?
Sonu Sharma: I am a traveler at heart. When I am not journeying through words and ideas, you will often find me exploring new places, whether through treks in nature or meaningful journeys. I also enjoy watching and playing cricket. The sport’s combination of strategy, patience, discipline, and passion has always fascinated me.
AuthorsWiki: Would you like to remain part of the writing world in the future?
Sonu Sharma: Yes, I would very much like to remain in the writing world in the future. For me, writing is not simply a profession or a phase; it is a way of thinking, engaging with life, and, most importantly, expressing my heart. It allows me to explore ideas deeply, question perspectives, and share learnings that might resonate with others. As long as there are thoughts to examine and experiences to translate into words, I see myself continuing this journey.
