Background
Information
Coming from a village (Pandaul) of Darbhanga District of Bihar (India) and living most of my life in cities (India, Ethiopia and Saudi Arabia), I was fortunate to gain varied experiences. During my college days I was influenced by the poetry of the Romantic poets, particularly that of Keats, Wordsworth and Shelley. The poetry of Hopkins, Yeats also influenced me. Being an Indian, I relished the poetry of Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, Shubhadra Kumari Chauhan, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Sumitra Nandan Pant, Suryakant Tripathi Nirala, Dushyant Kumar and some others.
