Zuni Chopra on Storytelling and Creative Writing | The Knowledge Knights Show

In this podcast, Zuni Chopra takes us to the world of storytelling and breaks down the process of writing a fiction novel.

About Zuni Chopra: Zuni is a 19 year old author and she is a freshman at Stanford University studying Creative Arts. She wrote her first novel when she was just 15!!

Her amazing work includes two collections of poetry, her first novel, ‘The House That Spoke’ (published in January 2017 by Penguin India), and the most recent publication, a collection of short stories, ‘The Island of the Day Before’. She has contributed articles to Vogue India and Hindustan Times and was shortlisted for Young Author Awards 2018.

I (Rutvij) read her book, The House that Spoke, recently and I absolutely loved it, and if you are into fiction and fantasy, I'm sure you are going to like this novel. Did I mention that she was just 15 when she wrote it?? Can you believe it??

More about The Knowledge Knights Show:

We have observed that our drive strengthens the more we interact with people who do their jobs with a lot of passion. The energy rubs off. This podcast is to further strengthen our own drive and that of the listeners along the way.

That said, there's an even more important reason to start this podcast. We have talked to over 500 students and professionals about their professional lives and found that a lot of them don't really love what they are doing. Most of them didn't know what their passions are, let alone following them.

There are two major blockers to finding and following passion:

1. The mindset to put name, fame, and money before passion and sometimes ignore it completely

2. Not enough exploration of interests

Through this podcast, we aim to get people to give equal importance, if not more, to finding and following their passions while interviewing passionate people from a broad spectrum of professions.
