From writing scripts inspired by Harry Potter to crafting his first book inspired by life, Aryan has unfolded his journey as a writer and a wonderful artist.
“Two years ago, I moved to Delhi, and that's the best decision of my life.” says Aryan, 24, who used to live in Etawah, a city on the banks of the Yamuna River in Uttar Pradesh, with his family. He packed his bags to embark on a journey toward his goals. “I had my mind set clear that now I was going to explore this world and create art out of it.” , he adds.
“Writing has always been magical to me."
Aryan has been writing since childhood—whether it's a story, his thoughts, or poetry, he breathes life into all of them. Four months ago, he decided to write his first book, 'Mere Hisse Ka Aasman, Mere Nazariya Se Duniya.' The book tells about how an artist sees the world differently, focusing on a person whose life is intertwined with art and who experiences life through the eyes of an artist.
“There's always a story around you, and that's where the process of writing begins.”
Before writing a book,
One should have an idea around which the story will revolve. As an artist, you often find something hidden behind very common and raw things around you.
Once you have the idea, you should draft raw pieces of it, gathering all the knowledge you can about the subject.
After that comes your creativity, when you add your personal touch to the story. "Every story has a piece of its writer in it,” Aryan explains, adding, “And it's your life experiences that decide your charm, which will definitely reflect in your story.”
“Experiences like seeing death up close fuel my creativity.”
“Creativity is not something that is stagnant; it's flowing and needs fuel,” he says. When asked what fuels his creativity, Aryan replies, “For me, exploring and experiencing new things has always been a big help for my art. I like to travel to places. I recently went to Manali last year, and that trip was one of the best and unexpected experiences of my life. When it was raining heavily in Manali and the whole town was flooded, we were locked in our apartments for days. That was when death scared me for the first time and gave me a whole new concept of life, which fueled my creativity. Additionally, I like to meet new people and spend time with myself to gain more consciousness about life. Apart from that, I've read lots of books, which fuels not just my creativity but my writing as well.”
