Q. How do you define your literary journey?

A. I feel it is eclectic in the truest sense of the word as I write in two languages and in various genres and as a columnist I deal with socially relevant themes. So my literary contribution is like a proverbial' Cornucopia' which gives me a sense of self worth, in a humble way.
