Goodreads asked Vihang A. Naik:

How do you get inspired to write?

Vihang A. Naik it was somewhere around my ninth grade that I wrote my first lines, to my utter surprise it was my first verse. To be more precise I used to take morning walks at Maharishi Arvind Garden, Fatehgunj, Baroda. We lived very near to this garden. I believe garden is not pre condition of writing poetry but you see, the environment and the times and historical personal and social conditions must have caused me to take up the pen. I used to scribble verses during my morning walks in Garden. Then often reworked them to ignite aesthetic quality when read out to friends and at poetry circle ...I often get inspired to write then when I grew up in any way, some times i get idea , a though or a feeling or a conflict within me , some one , as if, tells me to pick up the pen and put down on a paper .....it is just like that .....or may be , at times different ...you don't know when or what will inspire you ....
