Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
This is Annapurna Debnath, a 16-year-old from Kolkata, India. I’m an avid reader, listener, public speaker, Bharatnatyam dancer and classical singer. To me, writing it like painting the voice of the soul in a blank sheet of paper. 50 shades of silence which I’ve been nourishing since the last 4-5 years have today been painted with words, in the form of poetries, and here I come up with my self written book of 50 enchanting poems which have been published by Amazon, both in Kindle e-book and paperback edition and has gained a best sellers rank. ” January of 2017″ is the first ever poetry book of my life.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
January Of 2017- Overflow of grief one day turns into a poetry.
It was on my death bed in 2016, when I decided to scribble. Yes, you read it correct, I was struck by eosinophilic asthma and the doctors told me that I could die within 6 months or so. When my condition worsened, I was admitted to a hospital, rather a field where I fought with death for 5 days and gained triumph over it on the 6th day. On the very next day, I wished to listen to a voice, voice of a long lost, but I was refrained from doing so. I lost all ties with that voice, which served as the voice of my life on a cold winter night of January. And it was then, when I wrote my first letter. I wouldn’t lie, my English answer scripts were something to be mocked at, but my mom unfurled my hidden potential, motivated me, and today, I am the best speaker of my school. It’s been 4 years since I lost that voice, and I had been craving for it.
In the conclusion, what I would like to draw is, anybody can write and experiences are enough to turn a person into a poet. Writing is never a one man’s game, more than your vocabulary, it’s the vocabulary of your experiences which help you to weave words.
