What inspires you to write?
Well, I was inclined to writing and reciting poems from my childhood. I got a prize for recitation in my childhood when I was only 3 years old.
To be more specific to question, I was inspired by my mother Smt. Mamata Choudhury.
I get inspired to write when any incident touch my heart. My pen transforms the memories and images of those incidents into letters.

Homen Borgohain, Birendra Kumar Battacharya, Dr. Mamoni Roysom Goswami,
Partha Chattopadhyay and Chandra Prasad Saikia. But if you ask me to mention one name then it will be Homen Borgohain sir.
Tell us about your writing process.
Well, that is a pretty tough question to answer. To be honest, I do not follow any process, I write whenever I get emotional. Whenever some feelings, thoughts come to my mind, i just note down on a piece of paper. The main uniqueness about my writing can better be described by my readers. I just express my emotions and thoughts, in the form of poem. Ofcourse, I write more on real things, irony about human life.
For Fiction Writers: Do you listen (or talk to) to your characters?
I write about the harsh reality of world as poems. There are no specific characters in my writings. However, if I write novel then, ofcourse, it becomes mandatory to get connected emotionally to fictious characters.
What advice would you give other writers?
Always write from your heart and note down even if a single line comes to your mind, just note it down. Every single drop makes an ocean, similary every words, every line makes a book.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
All poems which I have included in my book were written long ago, but was scattered. Then I realized to compile all of them in the form of book.
I reccomend notion press, channai for affordable publishing.
