The Interview - Rituparna Ray Chaudhuri

You can never understand one language until you understand at least two. As an author I feel to be exposed, as it should be. Skill on any field is form of Art: At some point I became a successful Classical writer, and I’m grateful but when I write or when I try to write, I always feel uncomfortable. As such I need to dig, where I don’t feel comfortable. While writing I often ask myself where do I have to get to, what am I trying to leave behind?

With time I had gathered experiences on transformation of metamorphosis, at least to try to. I do teach higher students to my private academy, it strikes me how my students, who are so young, know a thing about them already. I am much more confused at their age.

I had earned self-realization on state of my existence: “Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish and hatred, is dear to me, and I will defend it.’’ I have always believed despite despondency and isolation, there is always an area that can be made fertile by source of freshwater in an otherwise dry and arid region. This is called oasis in the desert.
