Tell us about yourself.:
I am a fiction writer. I write children's stories, love stories, and political fiction. I mainly write short stories, but I have also written hundreds of poems. I have been addicted to writing since high school, but I managed to publish my first short story in 2018, which was four years after I graduated. Since then, I have written dozens of short stories which are now available as ebooks on Amazon.

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?:
I grew up in the steel city of Durgapur in West Bengal. I was born in the 90s when books were a great source of entertainment. Both my father and grandfather were fond of reading books. They used to read comics and pulp fiction. Gradually I got attracted towards books. Later, reading and writing became one of my hobbies.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Yes. Keep reading and writing. Share your work with family and friends and tell them to review your books.

Short moral stories have always inspired me to write, especially animal stories. I was also inspired by Ved Prakash Sharma's Pulp Fiction.
