Rani has expressed that her interest in writing was sparked by her engagement with social media. In the beginning, she used to write small comments about positive thoughts on Facebook. As her followers began to admire and encourage her, she began to take writing seriously and started crafting stories. Alongside stories, she also penned poems. However, Rani admits to having a preference for storytelling in her writing. According to her, storytelling is an oral tradition among the tribals and is an effective method of communication. While songs and poems are also integral to tribal culture, they lack the narrative element. Both genres have their significance, but Rani's heart lies in storytelling as it allows her to convey messages fascinatingly. [4]
