We are celebrating the Release of Rousing Cadence.
Rousing Cadence brought together seven authors across the globe. This is for the first time that published authors and bloggers are coming together and sharing their creativity. It brings forth different thinking and perspectives and unique styles of these authors and is expected to appeal to the wider audience.
Rousing Cadence delivers equal parts love and mystery, adventure and romance with unparalleled quality. Do not be surprised if you get nostalgic after reading few of the Poems.

Interview with Shmsud Ahmed
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I am a working professional
living in Mumbai since last 2 years.
When and why did you start
blogging?
After publishing my first book “I
AM DIRTY I NEED WASHING” I was not doing much and wanted to explore more
avenues of Poetry. I started collecting information from various sites catering
to poetry. This is when I came across few bloggers who continuously write,
communicate and have a very strong presence in the blogging world. They all
inspired me to take up blogging.
What got you into writing?
Can’t say! I started writing at
the age of 13 and even today I am as excited as a thirteen year could be.
Why poetry?
I write short stories too. I am
now writing for a TV Serial – Zindagi.com for one of the prominent TV Channel
in Northeast.
Who was the first person to read
your work?
My friends at school and no one
liked my work
What are your pet peeves?
Too Much honking, Bad
Poetry…there are many J
One mistake that every amateur
poet commits at the beginning?
Trying to copy other established
poets is a big No NO….this takes the originality away.
Why is Rousing Cadence special?
RC is a platform. It is not a
book of poetry which is published for the first time and ends there. The idea
behind RC is to create a common platform for emerging talents. The Idea is to
help these new and budding poets publish their work with help and support from
the team even if it means that we sit with them and hand hold them during the
entire process.
What was it like – collaborating
with people from round the globe?
I can’t explain. It’s tough when
you work with people from different time zone. You do your regular stuffs and
prepare for a full night conversation to ensure that we have not missed
anything.
One thing that you want the readers
to take away from this book
That the book is an
experiment. We can assure the readers
that they would be taken through a journey which encompasses all the essence of
life as the book is a concerted effort by seven authors across the globe. This
is for the first time published authors and bloggers are coming together and
sharing their creativity through this book.
