Avijeet Das
“A writer's life is different from that of a normal man's. A writer cannot settle down in one place. He has to keep traveling and drifting from one place to another. Because his travels give meaning and substance to his stories and poetry, he must keep on traveling. The people he meets and the places he visits give him unique perspectives to think about, reflect on, and write about.

A writer does not belong to one village, one city, one town, or one country. A writer belongs to the world.”
Avijeet Das

“Oh Kabira, where are you going?
Are you going away again?
Have you forsaken your true love?
Have you forgotten your own own words?

The night will never end
And the stars will keep on shining
Are you going to be sad, forever?
Are you going to be a wanderer, forever?

You will never find sleep in your eyes
Because your mind keeps on drifting
If you keep on this drifting
You will never sleep in your life

For some people life means drifting
Wandering from place to place
They hitch-hike and walk
Traveling on the endless road of Life

Oh Kabira, where are you going?
Are you going away again?
Have you forsaken your true love?
Have you forgotten your own words?”
Avijeet Das
