One Heart- Many Breaks is a thought provoking collection of emotional poetry. What inspired you to publish this collection?

I don’t have any plan to be a writer. My personal life has been mentally and financially tough since childhood . I am an introvert,so when I felt depressed I used to write in my diary. After 20 years,that has resulted in a poetry collection.

I have written what my mind and situation compelled me and how I experienced a particular thing in my life. I keep writing and painted my inner soul. I have used some paintings in the book. So you can say readers will know about my life after reading the book.

Did you write the poems for this book or did you write them slowly over time?

My personal circumstances find expression in my writing and tend to seek some solace from the reader. One Heart – Many Breaks is an autobiographical poetry collection that plunges into modern times, regrets, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Most of them are poetic reflections of personal emotions and situation I was laid in. The poems cover 20 years life events and are expression of clear, true and purged feelings and stark reality of my situation.

My favourite poem from the collection is ‘The Reality’. Do you have a favourite poem from this book?

All poems are close to my heart. Each poem has a story and not written in one sitting. It took so many thoughts and days to write a poem for me. It took 20 years to write 50 poems for me. So each one is like a gold mine for me,a history and a life story attached to it.

What is the most difficult part of your artistic process?

Any art be it writing or painting depends on your mood and circumstances. When you write about yourself, you tend to feel reluctant and little bit of shy of letting other know your sentiments and ideas. I think only those people write about themselves who are introvert or had been helpless to their situation. So it is difficult to be true to yourself and write about everything as they are. I also painted the characters which symbolic to my life.

What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?

I keep writing whenever I have time. It’s my pastime and passion. May be another collection come in near future. I am not a professional writer so can’t say when.
