1. Tell us the inspiration behind your writing?
Being bought up in a Bengali family, I always heard my mother reciting poems and telling me stories written by Rabindranath Tagore. My actual fondness towards writing began in my college life. I use to write blogs and articles then. I still remember the day when I had completed reading Few Things Left Unsaid and was inspired to write a book of my own.
2. Tell us a bit about your journey? How you started, where you are today?
I wrote my first book in the year 2014 when I was in college. I gained popularity by introducing pocket books in India. And since then there was no looking back. From getting rejected for my first pocket book to today being called as king of pocket books has been an enormous journey.
