Ayush Chauhan, a 19-year-student writer who hails from the city of lakes Udaipur, began his writing journey 4 years ago. From a very young age, he started developing interests in renowned Ghazal singers and poets. Some of his favorites included the well-known Rahat Indori, Mirza Ghalib and Waseem Barelvi. Ayush initially started wordplay to nibble down his daily endeavors, but soon this habit changed into a hobby and then turned into a passion.
He chose love, heartbreak, and life as a genre of his poems. Being an average student in school, apart from writing, he was also a football lover. He deeply enjoys riding and often meanders from place to place to find some soulful inspiration for his poems. Being a science student, he always wanted to fulfill his father’s desire of seeing him become a successful doctor.
But, again, like every other Indian boy’s story, it seemed like destiny had already planned his way into a different direction. Even though he was overwhelmed with his efforts towards the arduous studies and syllabus, he never gave up on writing. He started penning down his stress and sorrow in his diary. That later on turned into the idea of writing the book, “Tum Apni si Lagti Ho”. This came when he felt the need to connect with people through his words. The whole process of writing this book took 3 months, but the poems were already nibbled down 4 years ago. From being a common teenager to an author of the book, the journey will surely motivate readers to believe in one-sided love and relationships. In the era of new age love stories, Ayush hopes to showcase the power of one-sided love through his poems.
