No boundary is too big No boundary ls too small Work your way in succeeding your dreams ~~ Sochumlo Suki Ezung
They say imagination is a powerful force, capable enough to create a whole new dimension of time, space and matter; And most of the time, these imaginations are brought to life in the form of a book or a movie.
Walking down the same path as many fiction writers, a 12-yr-old girl from Nagaland, Sochumlo Suki Ezung, managed to grab on to that force at a very early age.
In an exclusive interview with TNT-The Northeast Today, Ezung explained how a fragment of one's imagination can help create something rare, unique and extra ordinary.
The 12-yr-old literary prodigy penned down her first book – Suki's Magic Box in the year 2017 when she was only 10 years old and her second book – Suki's Spacecraft was published in the month of April this year. The books were published by Kohima-based PenThrill Publication House.
TNT: How do you feel about being called the youngest author of Nagaland?
Suki: To be really honest I have to repeat, it's nothing extraordinary. I still have a long way to go. I think its better this way because being proud will always lead to ugly situations.
TNT: Are we looking at publishing another book in the near future?
Suki: Yes, I am working on a new book. I can't tell you anything because it's yet to be confirmed.
TNT: What are the areas that you like to cover? Nature, fiction, non fiction, social or education?
Suki: I would like to cover fiction as of now. Imagination is a powerful tool. By the use of imagination in non-fiction writing, we can take up causes such as conservation of earth, ignite hope in the minds of the readers, address issues such as bullying.
TNT: Being a source of inspiration for thousand other young students in Nagaland and northeast is not a light task. Where do you draw your strengths?
Suki: I draw my strengths from my friends and family who support me.
TNT: Do you have any message for our young students and upcoming writers?
Suki: No boundary is too big; No boundary ls too small; Work your way in succeeding your dreams.
