I come from a Punjab and a community that has taught me that art is meant to be challenging, infuriating and thought provoking.

If I start playing by the rules, I will inhibit myself of the possibilities that lie beyond. I don't like to be framed or given borders to operate in or curtail my thought process and as a writer it's not only my choice but also my need to go beyond the given framework.

Telling a story is an emotional and personal experience for me and I can't do without it.

Poetry and prose can start a revolution, break walls, and ideas can build nations.
