Book: Lead The Way, Hanuman
Q1. Please introduce yourself so that the readers will get to know you better.
Gladly! My name is Tisha! Licensed through the DBPR in Florida, I work full time managing the day to day operations of numerous building structures. I am an alumni of Florida Atlantic University with a degree in Business Administration. I was originally born in Guyana, located in South America and was raised in an Indo-Guyanese/Hindu household. I have no children, but find peace and happiness in partaking in charities for children and the elderly.
Q2. What is your inspiration behind your book “Lead the Way, Hanuman”?
I was truly inspired by two things: the upcoming generation and my late Grandmother who passed away from Alzheimer’s almost a decade ago. My generation of friends and family have all embarked on the journey of starting a family. I have watched each and everyone of them do their best to implement God and the Hindu religion into their children’s lives. Why not try to simplify such a complex religion for younger developing minds? On top of that, watching an elderly one drift away due to Alzheimer’s or Dementia is a difficult thing to experience. My thoughts were fixated on how to prevent that bond between generations from withering away due to this disease. Then the old saying of “once a man, twice a child” hit me and this is how the book was born. Teach the young ones, but also keep the minds of grandma and grandpa going.
Q3. What are your hobbies apart from writing?
Apart from writing, I am keen on Bollywood Dancing and have a strong love for music and the arts. I love playing the Harmonium (Indian Organ) and continue to learn day by day how to master it. I love a good novel and of course, a Hallmark Christmas movie, regardless of the time of year!
Q4. Are you planning to write another religious book soon?
Of course! Part two is due to release early next year! This will be a great, much needed series for the upcoming generation, as well as the older folks.
Q5. For which age group your book “Lead the Way, Hanuman” is suitable?
Lead the Way, Hanuman is suitable for all ages! Children ages 2-13 may find it more enjoyable.
Q6. Do you have faith in Lord Hanuman?
Lord Shiva is my Ishta-Devataa (the personal deity with whom a devotee feels the greatest connection with). Therefore, his avatar, Hanuman protects me in every waking moment!
Q7. What makes your city special?
I live where everyone wants to vacation! Good ol’ sunny South Florida!
Q8. What suggestion do you want to give to parents of little readers regarding a reading habit?
Buy your children more physical books. E-Books are great and convenient, but nothing can ever compare to holding a book in hand, turning the pages and hoping not to crease a page! Also, establish a daily or nightly story time with your little one. It’s a fantastic way to make reading habitual.
Q9. What does literary success look like to you?
Literary success is simple. Did your book leave a long lasting imprint on your reader? Did they smile? If so, that’s honestly all you need. Anything else you dream of in terms of “success” will follow after that.
Q10. Lastly, who is your inspiration in life and why?
I am inspired by multiple people! I am so blessed to be surrounded by positive and successful individuals in life. These individuals inspire me daily. Anyone that can live humbly and simply, inspires me. Anyone that can go from having nothing to everything through hard work and dedication, those people inspire me. Anyone that has a positive outlook on life, that harnesses goodness and purity, they inspire me as well.
