Samir Soni to write a book on anxiety 

According to a report by PTI, the book is titled My Experiments with Silence. It will include anecdotes on his 'darkest, most intense and introspective thoughts' in the form of poetry and prose. The actor has said that he would maintain a diary for all the thoughts and emotions he could not share with anybody. He also has described writing as a 'catharsis' of a sort. 

For the longest time, a notebook and a pen have been my closest companions. Every thought or emotion that I couldn't share, went into my diary. Writing has been a catharsis of sorts. 

Elaborating more on the thought process behind the book, he said that the pandemic took a toll on people's mental health. This, he felt, was the time to share his personal struggles which were more relevant now. Giving more insight into his book Samir Soni said that this book will be an ode to those who have dealt with or are dealing with their 'inner demons'. The book will be published by OM Books International.
