I am not a person who actively plots short stories. I try to write with empathy, with the strength of my anger, and I don't actively try to bring it to the surface, but sometimes it spills over. I have seen life from many angles, and apart from the trips for work,
I travel a lot on my own too. I have travelled through the villages of Orissa, Jharkhand and I think that some of their stories need to be documented.
I am very actively Indian in my thinking and my travels have influenced me a lot. I think there is no way of sitting at a desk and writing. I need to meet people, I strongly connect to them, and that is how I write.
