1. Tell us something about yourself. Describe Yourself in three words.
Simple – humble – tolerant.
2. Tell us about your Poem. How did you get the idea for it? What is it about?
I never compose poems. Nature, soil, water, people around me tell their own stories through my poems. I just play hide and seek with immortal words.
3. Tell us out your relationship with your parents. Invite an incident from your life where you felt deep gratitude towards your family.
My parents were talking Gods for me. I’ve never visited a temple. I always see God Almighty in them.
It was full moon day of shravana. The cornfields were over flooded. Some friends forced me to accompany them to paper boats. My mother knows I don’t know how to swim. She slapped right on my face and I felt it an insult. I stayed at home and did not talk to her. Later I came to know two of my friends (who were swim expert) drowned in over flooded Baitarani river. Thank God, my mother’s slap saved my life.
4. Tell us your journey as a writer.
Poetry flows as blood in my arteries. My first Odia poem appeared in an esteemed daily newspaper when I was eight years old. My first English poem was published in a regional English daily in 1992 but my poems published in “The Asian Age”, (London edition) had brought fame for me. My first lyric was written for President R.K. Narayanan on 10th August 1989 (A welcome song on his arrival meeting in Cuttack).
5. What do you do when you are not writing?
When somebody asks me to write, I sit down to write. I have never written fictitious. I like to write sorrows and sufferings of common people. Whenever I feel there’s nothing to do, I also write stories. When I do not write, I read books.
6. Who are your favorite authors / writers?
My favorite writers are:- (i) R.N Tagore, (ii) Robert Frost, (iii) John Keats, (iv) William Shakespeare, (v) Oscar Wilde, (vi) Anton Chekov etc.
7. How do you see yourself five years down the line? What will you be working on next?
Today I am doing nothing, just wasting time and paper whatever I am writing, were written many years ago. Every now and then, I try to write something new, but I see hunger, humiliation, poverty, discrimination, separation like elements crowded in my writings. I will represent these elements and raise my voice to eradicate them from the society till my death.
8. How was experience with Sanmati Publishers?
As I know, Sir Pawan Jain is an architect, a goldsmith who can easily identify one’s creative talent. He has given me a new identity through Sanmati Publishers.
9. What would be your message to our readers?

I’m not Tagore or Shelley
I’m poet the sky, smell of soil
When you touch my poems
you touch my heart!
