Bengali Poetry & Me

Since 1984, I 'm going to start a poetry-life in a small town of  West Bengal named Malda. It is in the mid of Bengal. The river Mahananda and ancient dynasty Gour penetrate me in creative writing. Then I was a little school boy of Malda Zilla School. The mainstream writing of Bengali poetry was far from me due to geographical distance. The mind-scape of the peoples of Malda was too much economy oriented. And for this reason there was no way to fulfill myself in creative studies & writings. Only few bookshops & wheelers are there. A district library was going to ruin by political aggressiveness. For a while I took a venture and was going to publish a little magazine named TRISHA(1984) based on art & literature. This magazine took an important role to motivate readers in new writings. After that a group of writers joined unitedly in this forum - Tridib Gupta, Tuhin Das, Sanjeeb Neogi, Tripti Santra, Asim Sharma, Debabrata Bandyopadhyay, Siddhartharanjan Choudhury and so many writers and artists were joining in this forum. In 1990, I went to Calcutta for my study in JADAVPUR UNIVERSITY. Then I saw the mainstream reality of Indian literature and took part in this field. Maestros of Bengali literature(as Arun Mitra, Annadashankar Roy, Shankha Ghosh, Debesh Roy, Sunil Gangopadhyay, Shakti Chattopadhyay, Sripantha alias Nikhil Kumar Sarkar etc.) were coming so close to me. I was astonished with fear & surprise. After completion of my study I was thrown by my fallen careergraph in my native-city. Depression, political chaos covered me for many years. In this period I fell in love with Sampa and was going to revive myself from this phase. Mr. Bijesh Saha, the publisher, owner of PRATIVASH gave me a proposal to publish a poetry-book from his house. It was 2005 Mr. Saha published my book CAREERGRAPH in a colorful inauguration ceremony at BANGLA ACADEMY in presence of Sunil Gangopadhyay, Dibyendu Palit and many prestigious personalities. It was a turning point in my life. Now a days I'm innovating me in new diction and genres of literature. There was also a way to publish my own ideas and readings in a new magazine named BIKALPA(1998-2009), after getting govt. of India's approval which turned into EBANG BIKALPA(2009). It is the only way to get tuned myself in recent writings. Now BENHUSH SONNET(moreover 100 sonnets) and PAKHIDER UPOKULE EKA(a novel written in poetry form) are ready to make their appearance.
