FIVE QUESTIONS
Hi Gargi, Hearty Congratulations on the publication of your debut book. Welcome to FIVE QUESTIONS. I have been busy traveling for the past three months, hence this unprecedented delay. So, without any further ado, let me shoot my five questions: SANTOSH Q 1 How do you feel in the aftermath of the publication of ‘ Two Cents For My Thoughts ’? GARGI: I feel a heightened and deep sense of accomplishment for having fulfilled a dream that had been born a decade ago. It is intensely gratifying when readers convey earnest appreciation and enjoyment for the writings, particularly when they express that they can identify with the thoughts and relate to the content, or simply that reading the poems lifted their spirits or made them ponder. I feel deeply honoured that the book was launched at the prestigious Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi and now resides at the library there too. Overall, I am euphoric that so much warmth and affection have been showered on this labour of love. SANTO
