Q. As literature seems very close to your heart, how do you define it?

A. Literature is a process of observing, shaping and reshaping the reality around us. In that process of observing, shaping and reshaping, the heart constantly churns out a dream for a new world by observing different worlds at the same time. Literature is this process of bridging and creating these interconnections between an existing world and a perceived or a dreamy or a futuristic world.
