Background

I was born in the cosy lap of Queen of hills 'Darjeeling'. I studied in Central School for Tibetans Darjeeling... may be just because of the marvel of the nature that my eyes perceived in Darjeeling... particularly on the roads of mall road that came on my way to school.... listening to the sweet chirping of the birds and the whispering of the cold winds and the intensity of the fog that encircled the area most of the time, transformed once a naughty and shabby child into a poet....

It’s an amateur site which I built myself without having any professional knowledge. I have uploaded few works of mine in different genre of literature, like poetry, articles and few chapters of my novel on which I am working. Apart from that, I have uploaded some poetry of my students, whom I taught in previous school where I used to work.
