Recently, I had the honor of speaking at an author event at Amity University in Kolkata, organized by the Department of English as part of their literary festival.

It was a delightful and profound conversation about the creative process, space, the role of poetry during wartime, artificial intelligence, literary awards, and reading my own poems.

The audience was composed of students, including girls in saris, burqas, and blazers, and boys in kurtas and suits. The large hall was filled with interesting and unexpected questions, making the event truly memorable. Thank you, Professor Sreetanwi Chakraborty, and all your colleagues for the wonderful event!
