I was born and brought up in a village named Madhura near Vikaramshila University Bihar, which is now Jharkhand. Since childhood I have moved without any restrictions and I saw the visual world through those eyes and I found the visual world very beautiful because it exists and is true. I had chance to see the perpetual flow of water ,reflection of the moon light in the midnight , slothful birds, a jumble of boats, and life around at the river Ganga .It was my tranquil life where I got the vision to see and sense the beautiful world of forms and sounds . Those days sparked my poetic imagination and in appreciation of beauty started expressing my emotion in words .
Man karta hai --- Beech sarak par Nanga hokar dour lagaum
Duniya mujh ko pagal kahle Mai to digamber ban jaum .

( I feel like shedding all my clothes,
And want to run on the road in the buff.
Let the world call me crazy;
But I would have no clothes except the infinite sky.)
Or
Vah aati hai nitya---
Yah mai bar-bar dekhta hun
Magar nahi ho pati hai bat
Bat karna or dekhna
Dekhna or bat karna
Jane kab hoga eak sath.

( She always comes to me,
I often notice this.
But no dialogues are exchanges between us.
Oh! My luck –
When will I get to see and talk to her simultaneously? )
My fascination to writing poems gave me courage and inner support . I enrolled for full time art education at Banaras Hindu University as an entrance topper . I got a gold medal from plastic arts department in 2001 and a master’s degree in creative arts from M.S. University of Baroda 2003.After having academic training in the institution I decided to work as a free - lance artist and since then I have been deeply involved in the creative endeavor as well as risks and hardships involved.
