I wait. I read whatever I can and read the newspapers. I try to pay attention to my fellow travelers on the bus to college. And when the urge to write returns again, I make sure I'm there to welcome it.

Nothing, really. It is an addiction that parents don't like and friends don't care about, and the only one whose craving it satisfies, is the writer itself.

Read way more than you write. And never shy away from re-edits, no matter how futile you think them to be.

I currently have two poetry books in hand, one of which has already been accepted by a publisher. The second book, I'm still looking for a suitable publisher. Meanwhile, I'm working on the idea for a novel, and plan to start writing it as soon as I have a fair idea of where I want the story to lead.

I think our lives are all the inspiration we need. Where we come from. Where we want to go. And who we become on the way.

My poetry initially stemmed from my frustration after failing in live and being caught up in a career path which didn't satisfy me in any way. Pretty soon personal had seeped into the political and I had begun writing poetry about myself, but in the confines of my city, my country and my society.
By the time I had hit a hundred poems, I found they had developed among themselves, a common running theme. This was when I realized I wanted to see them together in a book.
