In his own words : “Poetry demands an extremely selective choice of words, besides a feel for rhythm, metre and sound. The unexpected opportunity that poetry gave me was the unbridled liberty to write on absolutely anything and everything under the sun. A fleeting thought, a sudden realization, a reflection on an aspect of my own existence …… all coming to life in the form of poetry!”
