Debashis have been writing poetry and short stories since his college days and also contribute to The American Chronicle. His first novel, Murmur of the Lonely Brook, reflects his immersion in an ancient culture that continues to follow age-old rituals, customs, and traditions.

Debashis finds beauty in stillness, solitude, and the quiet rhythms of nature. Deeply attuned to the silences of the universe, he writes from a place where words arrive gently—like leaves carried on the wind, like memory rising through mist.

He lives in Kolkata now, and loves painting with ink and coffee—and sometimes, with words.
The Edge of Listening is his first poetry collection.

Rather, I would stealthily enter Carlos Ruiz Zafón's The Shadow of the Wind—the eerie maze of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books in post-war Barcelona.

I would live the life of a literary thief there. Not the story-thieving kind, but the one who whispers forgotten names into candlelight and frees unread souls from dusty shelves. I would walk the narrow alleys gathering sentences like trinkets and brewing tea with Fermin Romero de Torres (who undoubtedly brews it with more drama than is necessary).

I wouldn't defeat evil, save the world, or experience dramatic love. I would simply read. Indefinitely. And perhaps tuck a few of my own annotated pages into the spine of a misplaced novel—so that some other lost soul might come across them and be pleased.

After all, what could be more magical than having someone you've never met remember you?(less)

A poem for those who write from the quiet margins—where voices go unheard, and still, the fire burns. This is for the ones who shape memory into language, who write not for applause, but to survive the silence.

“In Nature, things are broken with a purpose—clouds break to pour rains, rivers break to water fields, fields break to yield crops, seeds break to yield plants … so if ever you feel broken, understand that you must be part of a better and more beautiful purpose...”
Debashis Dey

“And now she knew she could never find love in someone else. She knew the lines she treasured so long from the movie were wrong. There was no use searching for love in someone who was born for her. Even if he existed. Love existed in her own self. Inside her. But to comprehend it, to understand it, to awaken it, she needed the other person. Someone who would pull the right strings that made her sing, someone with whom she could share her feelings, her thoughts, her dreams. It was not just someone with whom she could grow old, someone with whom she could share the murmur of the brook.”
Debashis Dey, Murmur of The Lonely Brook

“A creative mind remains in constant awareness and has a deeper connection with the Universe”
Debashis Dey

“In Nature, things are broken with a purpose—clouds break to pour rains, rivers break to water fields, fields break to yield crops, seeds break to yield plants … so if ever you feel broken, understand that you must be part of a better and more beautiful purpose...”
Debashis Dey

“Coincidence is the mother of superstition”
Zen Lounge

“A creative mind remains in constant awareness and has a deeper connection with the Universe”
Debashis Dey

“A Meditative mind is like a pool of water reflecting the universe. Even if a stone is thrown - such a mind will resonate with the splash, enjoy the ripples as they spread, and admire the journey as it goes down”
Debashis Dey

“Our mind is the most active part of the body, even when we are resting. It has an opinion about everything we see, listen to, touch, or feel. It tags and compares everything with its notions, which we built over the years. While meditating, we need to observe and analyze this over-reactive mind from a third-person perspective. That is real awareness.”
