I got the idea of writing about a Fulbright Fellow in One Word in the University.

In India people quote poems off hand. It has always been a pleasure to listen to grey haired, bearded fellows who continuously recite poems in Urdu and Hindi in get togethers, parties, classrooms ... an oral tradition. I have read poems in English in school and college as part of my education. When I wanted to express my feelings, I found it easy to put them in verse, metaphorically as well as rhythmically. So ... I am a poet !

I am an avid reader. If after reading a few books I feel that I think differently, I think of a story to express my views. My poems are usually spontaneous, taken down immediately so that I do not lose it. Afterwards, I revise a poem if necessary to make it more intelligible to others.

Since I am a teacher of English literature, I have observed how the teaching of literary theories hinder free flow of thought. I am working on a novel that is almost a dialogue between an artist and an art critic. It is also about nature and science as two ways to enhance art.

Writing comes naturally to people who read a lot. It keeps the mind well organized and maximum satisfaction can be gained after seeing a finished book.
