Dorothy Granger - "Wow! The Book is really great! I loved the way the author explained everything, the book is literally simple and different from other travelogues! It is not like a travelouge but just like an introduction that is enough for a traveller like me!"
Richard Blue - "Language used is fair but knowledge given is immense, the book is nice and short"
Recently, Awesome Gang featured an interview they did with Self Published Author Ram Sharma regarding his latest book Tourist's Booklet for Indian Geography and Demographics: Part 1.
Some of the discussion involved was,
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Ram Sharma, I’ve been writing since the age 11, my first story was “Vision” while my latest book is a travelouge on India, I am a Geography enthusiast, travelling all over the world have been my lifetime hobby. For me things should be precise and direct, unnecessary data is just like adding lot of food in out plate and eating nothing and first and foremost they are a waste of time!
A lot of travelogues are concerned with culture, rituals etc. etc. But according to me it will not help the traveller in anyway!
You should only give precise information and data to the reader so that the traveller then can on his own explore and know whatever he want to know that too on his own.
As an Indian my favourite destination to visit is Uttrakhand in India and as an Earthian my favourite destination outside India is Ireland.
I have written various stories and a book, Tourist’s booklet for Indian Geography and Demographics.
