THE students of Ecole Mondial World School, Juhu, had a wonderful experience spending over an hour by interacting with the young fantasy fiction author Ms. Insiya Patanwala on Friday morning.

The students were comfortable with the 15-year-old author Insiya, who herself is preparing for her ICSE exams to be schedule from February end, with a variety of questions shooted  at the young author.

One of them wanted to know how Insiya started her novel – ESOTERICA, was the title suggested first or the story plot was decided before. A smiling Insiya, revealed the secret of her novel and said, that she started putting her ideas and thoughts after coming back from school on a rough pad, when she was 11-year-old and she never realized that one day it will take a shape of a novel.

“Ofcourse, my mom was a big support and she stood like a rock, because of her I was able to complete the novel in two years and to see this lovely 233 pages novel on stands, which is like a dream come true,” revealed Insiya.

The students were grounded on the floor, while Insiya accompanied by Ms. Silky Vyas, school Librarian, read out from her novel a few important quotes and also she shared her poems, which she started at a tender age of 7.

The students enjoyed the interaction which was very natural and formal.

As a mark of respect the school presented a momento to Insiya and she also handed a autographed novel for the school.
