"Nothing stops you if you are passionate enough – says Shahjad."
Shahjad Khan is an Indian Author who rose to fame with his first book, "A compendium of Depression and Anxiety", in a non-fiction category that was highly acclaimed and won overwhelming responses on various platforms as an author. His next masterpiece, "Love is forever: if it's true", is a novel in the fiction genre that has gained him a unique bond with his audience. His passion for writing drove him to progress which has become a success. He is a dreamer, and his great dream began when he began writing a romantic story, "Love is forever: if it's true", long before the release of his first book.
In latest conversation with Author Shahjad Khan:
Shahjad was always fond of writing and reading. Being a literature student, he always believed that writing is a medium that lets you express yourself and communicate with your audience. It's always an exciting feeling when your work get's recognized amongst a wider audience. This incredible feeling at times makes one pinch to believe that it is accurate.
When asked about his motivation behind writing two books on entirely two different genres, he stated, "My first book ", A compendium of Depression and Anxiety", was my research paper, and I never thought that my research paper would be a published book. I was already working on my second romantic novel, "Love is forever: if it's true", for a very long time, but my friends and teachers liked my research paper and asked me to get it published. I submitted it, and my publisher accepted my research paper and published it internationally". Indeed it's the best experience ever for every writer!
Hard work is always worth it, and subsequently, a kind and humble support from the close ones are the top cherries.

His words of Wisdom to every writer "One needs to be focused and determined to achieve a remarkable position as a writer and an author along with an apprehension of the subgenre of non-fiction or fiction they are supposed to write. Above all, one must be consistent enough."
Indeed, the pursuit of passion allows one a higher degree of potential, increased motivation and a higher capacity for further innovation and creativity.
