It's the flare and the fire in the belly; it's the child of my childhood melancholy. It's the dark routes of civilization and the wonderous alleys of 'larger than life' magicians. All these have boiled down to the scripting of my future, where I have only the words as my savior in all my endeavors.
My long stint in the baking oven of life backs my writing. The pains, I find are the pointers to joy of creativity.
I started writing at the age of 4, maybe 5, in my native language Bengali. The whirlwind of life took me to many routes before surrendering to writing. Now I'm a published writer and author (Bengali), and happy with my resolution of writing till death takes over..
