Made in India
1. When did you find yourself in the world of words?
Writing started as a child’s play for me. During my childhood days, my mom inspired me to think, imagine fantasies and pen down whatever came to my mind. My parents love to travel a lot and that had infused a nomadic spree in me. Since my childhood, I have been to many places across geographies which help me in setting scenes for most of my stories.
As I grew up, I started sharing my creative outputs with various literary magazines and anthologies. Even I engaged myself as one of the Editors of my school and college magazines and soon after my graduation I went on to venture my own magazine named “Culture Flash”. Shortly my works happened to receive varied accolades at different platforms.
With time, it was my husband who motivated me to write a book.
2. Your views on online readership.
With due respect to the technological surge, when it comes to reading, I still prefer a paper book over ebooks. I just love the smell of new pages.
3. What do you think about the newly emerged genre "Micro-fiction"?
One simple question frequently comes to my mind, - In today’s speedy world, do we really have enough time to relax and enjoy a full length novel? Keeping the fast pace of our promising nations, is it not high time to make a paradigm shift of the contemporary literary styles?
Such thoughts ran behind me for months till the time I came up with the new concept of MICRO STORY.
4. Tell us about your book/s.
I have four fascinating books on my shelf:–
1. ‘Fantastic 40’
2. ‘Zenova 20’
3. ‘Bhanga Moner Dinga’
4. ‘Cuddle & Clash’
My first appearance as a published author was in 2014, arguably authoring India’s first assortment of English “Micro” stories under the title of ‘Fantastic 40’, published by All About Books Global Publishers. The book received a warm response from its readers and recently the grand 2nd edition has been released under the umbrella of Purushottam Publishers.
In 2015, I came up with a bag of 20 awesome thought provoking stories under ‘Zenova 20’.
During the Kolkata International Book Fair 2016, my debut Bengali poem collection ‘Bhanga Moner Dinga’ (Broken Heart’s Boat) was released.
My recent release ‘Cuddle & Clash’ offers the latest collection of 25 feather-touch stories which are bound to touch anyone’s heart with its sweetness.
5. A message for the reader's community...
That our life is a mixed bag of events, primarily governed by nine emotions (generated out of our five senses) which keep ruling our life till the last day. It takes a sensitive mind to pick up those events and carefully string them together in a way that does not affect the coming days.
There is no good in sticking to the past if it only brings tears to your eyes. Let’s accept it and take a step forward…who knows something better is not waiting for us?

वो जो हँसते हुए दिखते है न लोग
अक्सर वो कुछ तन्हा से होते है
पराये अहसासों को लफ़्ज देतें है
खुद के दर्द पर खामोश रहते है
जो पोछतें दूसरे के आँसू अक्सर
खुद अँधेरे में तकिये को भिगोते है
वो जो हँसते हुए दिखते है लोग
अक्सर वो कुछ तन्हा से होते है
