“Getting your work published is a major struggle.” — Gulzar

When my family migrated from Punjab during the Partition, we came to Delhi and I was enrolled in United Mission School.

It's a common notion that if you like Tagore, then he must have had an influence on your life. While I like Tagore's poetry and his thoughts, he doesn't influence my work.

People mostly associate Tagore only with Gitanjali. That is the mistake they make. Gitanjali is just one per cent of his oeuvre.

I am a greedy poet. I keep munching life all the time. Sweet, sour and bitter moments.
