Some glimpses of our conversation with Ravleen Sabharwal and Amit Dubey.

What inspired you to write a book on the topic of Revenge Instinct?

Ravleen: As lawyers, we were discussing a case one day and realized how people often fall prey to revenge in various situations. This sparked the idea of writing a book on the topic.

Did you conduct any research or interviews to gather information on the subject of revenge and its effects on individuals and society?

Ravleen: We based our book on our observations of how revenge can drive people to commit big crimes for various reasons. We did not conduct any formal research or interviews.

What challenges did you face during the writing process, and how did you overcome them?

Amit: The biggest challenge was staying on the same page and sticking to the same plot. As lawyers, we have many things to discuss, and we often had to delete or scrap our previous ideas. However, it was also fun to write a book.

Do you believe that revenge is ever justified, or is it always a negative force in human relationships?

Ravleen: To sum it up, revenge shows that you are weak. It’s a sign of a weak person.

Can you give us an overview of how you divided the work, from writing the manuscript to publishing?

Amit: We sat down and discussed and made points, and sometimes divided the chapters based on the plot we had jotted down before. Each chapter starts with a saying of a well-known personality that reflects how that saying is apt, introduced by Ravleen and later developed by me.

How did you balance writing and work, and manage to find time for both?

Ravleen: As lawyers, we have a very hectic schedule, but we made time for writing by prioritizing it and working on it whenever we could. It was a challenging but rewarding experience.

What message or lesson do you hope readers will take away from your book, and how do you think it can help them in their own lives?

Amit: We hope readers will understand that revenge is never a solution to any problem and can only lead to more harm. One lie can lead to another and it’s never-ending, especially when it comes to revenge or anything that is not good for a person. We recommend that everyone read the book at least once.
