Which Author Would You Love to Have Dinner With?

If I could have dinner with one author, I would choose Rohit Sharma, the author of T Amo… I Love You.

Sometimes, our connection with a book goes beyond its story. We connect with the emotions, thoughts, and personality of the person behind the words. For me, Rohit is not just an author whose work I appreciate—he is also a good friend, which would make the dinner even more meaningful.

I would love to sit across the table with no formal interview questions, no pressure, and definitely no “serious literary discussion” for the entire evening! 😊 I would simply want to talk about stories, relationships, emotions, life experiences, and the little moments that eventually find their way into a writer’s imagination.

One thing I would especially love to ask him is: How much of an author’s own heart quietly enters the characters they create?

Books about love often make us think about our own relationships—the people we loved, the emotions we never expressed, the misunderstandings we carried, and the connections that changed us. A writer has the beautiful ability to turn those complicated emotions into words that others can relate to.

And because Rohit and I are already good friends, I imagine our dinner would include plenty of laughter, friendly teasing, memories, endless conversation, and perhaps a little debate about love and relationships too. After all, when a relationship facilitator and an author who writes about emotions sit at the same table, the conversation cannot possibly remain boring! 😄

For me, the best dinner conversations are not necessarily with the most famous people. They are with people whose thoughts make you curious, whose journey gives you something to reflect upon, and with whom conversation feels natural.

So yes, my dinner choice would be Rohit Sharma, author of T Amo… I Love You.

Because sometimes the person behind the words is just as interesting as the story inside the book.

Question of the Day:
If you could invite one author—living or no longer with us—for dinner, who would it be, and what would you ask them?
