To all those clouds of words, dreams and “reality- in its myriad shapes and hues” that danced for me and are still dancing! To this life that taught me dreams are the sails of the boats in ocean of life, reality. They may get tattered in storms but in favourable weather they work wonders and when they work they make the journey truly worth-while! When they don’t work or can’t work they still make the boat look pretty, don’t they? Fill us with hope for tomorrow’s favourable weather when they will make our boat fly!

Few words for readers

I was born in Tundla a tiny town adjacent to famous Agra, that nurtures beautiful Tajmahal in its heart. Then, in the course of next 16 years I touched most of the states of Northern Indian plains, U.P., Bihar, Haryana, Delhi (by touched I meant lived in), finally the daughter returned to her ancestral soil, Burdwan of West Bengal, India, completed her graduation there joined the first job, then shifted to Kolkata in 2005, stayed there till 2015, lived in Hyderabad for a very brief period Feb 2015 to November and then returned to  Kolkata.

I love to write and illustrate them myself. By love I mean love, no half-hearted relationship, a full-fledged, passionate love, I can’t pass two days in a stretch without writing/painting (cyber), just feel empty like lovers do when their lovers are away on a tour! Being unmarried and unemployed I have all the time in world to spend on things I love, and I do! Believe me! Whatever time was left from my already crazy schedule I have invested in my Esines Agnishatdal and Agnijaat, since 2016 July and they are keeping me on my toes!

Can’t say I wanted it but life has shown me almost all of her colours, from the ugliest to prettiest, from darkest to divine, my works are as close to reality as you will find and then as insanely dreamy as they can be! You will see mystical and real in my works. Hope you will enjoy them!
Don’t forget to tell me!


p.s.: Createspace and kindle have merged, so I will delete the erstwhile createspace books or the paperbacks in 2019, maintain only the ebooks.

Of dreams and reality 2019

Of dreams and reality https://www.amazon.com/dp/b0105jdvh4 Life and its myriad tugs and pulls that bring out the best and worst of imagination, experiences. We all start our lives with dreams in our eyes and hope in our hearts. Believe me! The broken hearts and souls you see around you are the ones beaten by themselves or the world! Some pieces of those dreams, hopes and turmoil are wrapped inside these covers for you. Hope you will enjoy them! You can guess by the name that this book contained a set of poems about human existence, its vices and virtues, its behavior good and bad!  Then this year I added a bunch of poems of various mood and topics, written in my own style seventeen. Now the mood of the book has changed substantially so check out and see what you can gather from them. Hope you will enjoy it. Do drop a line after reading them please!
