New Delhi [India], October 8: <\/strong>In a world often divided between logic and emotion, CA Pranav Sharma stands as a rare bridge \u2014 a seasoned Chartered Accountant who has seamlessly transitioned from balancing ledgers to weaving heartfelt stories. At the age of 40, while most chase stability, Pranav chased sincerity, publishing his debut novel\u00a0I Had a Best Friend Too<\/em>\u00a0and stepping into the literary spotlight for the first time.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI never planned to become an author,\u201d says Pranav. \u201cWriting began as a confession, not a career move. It was just my way of expressing emotions I couldn\u2019t articulate otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A practising Chartered Accountant with expertise in finance, taxation, and audit, Pranav Sharma\u2019s professional journey reflects discipline, precision, and years of perseverance. But behind the curtain of compliance and calculations was a storyteller shaped by nostalgia, friendship, and emotion. His novel I Had a Best Friend Too<\/em>\u00a0reflects that duality. Set in the simpler, more human era of 2009 to 2011, the story explores themes of love, loss, and youth before the age of constant connectivity.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhen people ask me what sets the book apart, I tell them it\u2019s not just fiction \u2014 it\u2019s memory, it\u2019s emotion, it\u2019s life as it was before Instagram reels and WhatsApp chats,\u201d he shares. \u201cReaders from the \u201980s and \u201990s, especially, have written to me saying it reminded them of their college days, their first friendships, and the times when connection wasn\u2019t digital but deeply personal.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And the recognition followed. Pranav\u2019s debut was recently featured in\u00a0The Bookish Gossips<\/em>\u00a0in an exclusive author interview. His book was listed among the Top 10 Books by Delhi Wire and also received the Best Fiction Award from\u00a0The Literature Times<\/em>. The Welred Foundation honoured him for his literary contribution, a reminder that stories told with sincerity do find their place, even if they begin late.<\/p>\n

But Pranav\u2019s story isn\u2019t just about writing a novel. It\u2019s about embracing a passion that had long taken a backseat to profession.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAt 40, I saw two firsts in my life \u2014 my first book published, and my first media interview,\u201d he reflects. \u201cThat\u2019s when I truly understood \u2014 dreams don\u2019t check your date of birth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His ability to balance his identity as a Chartered Accountant with his heart as a storyteller gives his journey a compelling twist. While the world expects people to pick a lane early, Pranav\u2019s life is a reminder that it\u2019s possible to walk more than one path and walk them both with meaning.<\/p>\n

He hopes that this unique combination will inspire others, especially professionals who\u2019ve shelved their passions in the name of practicality.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI believe a person can be a professional by career and a storyteller by passion, and both identities can co-exist beautifully,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pranav is now building recognition as an author, not just to promote his book, but to share the journey behind it \u2014 the quiet honesty that started it all. His writing may be rooted in nostalgia, but his mission is very much present-day: to connect with people, to remind them of simpler times, and to encourage them to pursue the voices they\u2019ve long buried.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Pranav will be participating in several major book events in 2025 and 2026, showcasing\u00a0I Had a Best Friend Too<\/em>\u00a0and meeting readers across India.<\/p>\n
