He was of the opinion that novel writing is not so easy. It requires more concentration and skills of the writer. The characters involved should never look like fillers used to just fill up the pages but these characters should provide all twists and pace required to connect with the theme.
It is pertinent to mention here that Sunil Sharma has been writing in Hindi and Dogri languages for a long time now. Although his majority of works are in Ghazals but with this novel he has joined the league of those litterateurs who have the credit of writing novels in Dogri.
