Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I was born and brought up in South Calcutta (India), and my growing up years was very much influenced by Literature and History studies. I studied in Gokhale Memorial Girls’ School and Presidency College, Calcutta. Websites recognized my name internationally on Academic Research as Google Scholar, White Academia Logo with a book published from Partridge International, USA, named Realization (Documents Based on Self-Scholarly Effects with Google Scholar Citations on Selected Works of Shakespeare’s Othello and Hamlet, John Keats’ Ode to Nightingale and a story of Rabindranath Tagore from Bengali Literature.) My work has been explored recently at Oxford Bookstores, Kolkata with my historical book, ‘The Immortal Fly: Eternal Whispers’ published from Partridge International in Association with Penguin Random House, UK. Recently, I have come out with the book Illusion Verses Reality: Based on Reverie, A Collection of Poems for ISC, which is a book of poetry and its analysis published from Kolkata (Calcutta, 24 by 7 Publishers). Apart from Author and a Critic, I am a teacher at both British and English Literature.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is based on poetry , as named Illusion Verses Reality: Based on Reverie, A Collection of Poems for ISC.
From students of higher classes and learners, I received feedback that they find it difficult to do a proper mapping of how to develop and write perspective answers, which also include their self views and thoughts. Most of the books in the market based on Reverie: A Collection of ISC Poems are workbooks for examination purposes. This compelled me to write this book, but in a different way, and this is indicated in the subtitle of the book – ‘In a time of destruction, create something’.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
Generally, what I feel I want to write that. I am too choosy to hold my pen to write something in particular, as far. Everything what I write and do, together makes me still to feel very unsatisfied. Naturally, my thoughts come out through my innumerable unusual scribblings inside my copy or alike.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I like to read some of my chosen poetic works, some of my passionate novels and stories where I still used to think, ” If I ever can be like them!”
What are you working on now?
This year I recently finished a book ‘Illusion Verses Reality: Based on Reverie’. Now, I want to touch something different. Let me complete the work to get revealed, then.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
No doubt Google and other websites promoting my name a lot, but personally I prefer Interviews to connect with people round the world.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
The young authors are very busy and exploited to be so far named and trolled. Instead of being fumbling Consequences, the authors should have their prolonged efforts, as far as possible, with Clarity and Correctness, Perseverance and Patience, Reading and Research, Discovering and Modulation, apart from self-Feelings and his Perception.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Eternal Whispers, as mentioned in the historical book ‘The Immortal Fly :Eternal Whispers’ [https://g.co/kgs/xydpt5 ]when Ma had words to me, “World will recognise you through your writing.” (Translated from Bengali Language).
What are you reading now?
I am presently reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. While reading, am trying to analyse the then period with today. Much to be learnt by generation , also, to avoid future anarchy : Politics or Emotions…A World is on Fire, unless rectified visually.
What’s next for you as a writer?
As a writer, want to be attached with more testimonials and promotions, to attend the international book fairs, to submit my articles more and obviously ready to face failures, challenges , criticisms and promotion.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Well, my choice will be then on my experiences so far are Great Expectations, The Ugly Duckling and Songs of Innocence and Experience.
