What inspires you to write?
Poetry and Music, always facinated me from my childhood. I was attacted to writing and reciting poems, also music from my childhood.
Many incidents happens in our life or in society and if that touches my heart then the emotions take the shape of a poem.
To be more precise, I was inspired by my mother Smt. Mamata Choudhury for writing and singing.
Tell us about your writing process.
Well, that is a pretty tough question to answer. To be honest, I do not follow any process, I write whenever I get emotional. According to me if we bind our thoughts under a process then it becomes so artificial. Whenever some feelings, thoughts come to my mind, i just note down on a piece of paper. The main uniqueness about my writing can better be described by my readers. I just express my emotions and thoughts, in the form of poem. Ofcourse, I write more on real things, irony of humans life.
