\"'Nilesh<\/p>\n

Lets get into a poetic conversation with Nilesh:<\/h3>\n

1. What according to you is the most important quality a person should have to become a poet or a writer?<\/h2>\n

I think the most important (and probably the only) quality a writer or poet must have, is to be achingly honest and unafraid of being judged for his\/her emotional vulnerability. Anything else, you can learn, you can perfect with practice and time. But if you\u2019re not honest with yourself and your words, you\u2019re fighting a lost war from the very start.<\/p>\n

2. Can you describe the time when you first realized that this was something you absolutely wanted to do?<\/h2>\n

My first year of college was a very troubled time for me. I was unsure about my career, recently heartbroken and above all, unable to communicate freely with my parents and friends. Then one day I took a trip to Kolkata, and sitting beside the flowing Ganges, I was taken over by the overwhelming urge to write. I still believe rivers bring to us what we need the most, and for me, it was poetry.<\/p>\n

\"Nilesh<\/p>\n

3. What are your writings mainly based on? And how do you get the ideas to start off with the writings?<\/h2>\n

From my very first poem, I\u2019ve tried to expand and experiment with my writing. I believe my poems are essentially stories I find around me, whether they\u2019re political or erotic in nature. The idea usually begins as a scenario that plays in my head, maybe something I had seen and been curious about, and I simply try to give that fleeting moment a suitable context with my imagination.<\/p>\n

4. Whose writings inspire you the most and why?<\/h2>\n

Charles Bukowski and Allen Ginsberg have been big influences on the kind of poetry I write due to the unflinching honesty and straightforwardness their words possess. Among more contemporary poets, those like Akhil Katyal, Vikramaditya Sahai, Guru T. Ladakhi, Eunice D\u2019Souza and more, have taught me how to speak about the most mundane of things in a magical way.<\/p>\n

5. What do you try to communicate through your writings?<\/h2>\n

What I have always wanted to communicate through my writings, is that no matter how different we may be in terms of geography or origin, we still experience love and pain and heartbreak in the same way. That we have stories we wouldn\u2019t know to be special until someone narrated them to the world. That\u2019s what I try to do, keep those stories alive.<\/p>\n

\"Nilesh<\/p>\n

6. Is there any difference between the old age poets and the modern day young poets? If yes, what and which one do you prefer personally?<\/h2>\n

Poetry has changed through the years, molding itself according to the era it has been written in. But the core values of poetry have remained constant. Poetry will always be about our struggles, our pathos, our raised voices, our faith in resistance and dissent against what is wrong. It doesn\u2019t matter which age we belong to, poetry will bring us together eventually.<\/p>\n

7. What was your first poem about and how did you come up with it?<\/h2>\n

My first poem was titled \u2018Letters to Joanne\u2019 and marked the beginning of a long running series that eventually became the focal point of my first book as well. It was about my meeting with a woman who also embodied the city of Kolkata, constantly changing with the ebb and flow of its rivers, but always coming back to where it started, irrespective of death and decay, loving and letting go.<\/p>\n

\"Nilesh<\/p>\n

8. Is there anything memorable you would like to share with us?<\/h2>\n

One of my biggest regrets since the time I started writing was the fact that I couldn\u2019t share it with my family. Although they have always tried being supportive, sometimes they simply don\u2019t understand what I write, or why. But when my first book came out and they saw I had dedicated it to my recently deceased grandfather; the idea that through my books, his name will live on, hit them. In that moment I knew, why I should keep on writing.<\/p>\n

9. Where do you see yourself in the next five year?<\/h2>\n

Honestly, that\u2019s a question I\u2019ve stopped asking myself altogether. Right now, I have one book out, and two more to be launched by next year. Right now, I\u2019m working with some amazing people, and meeting new and wonderful people constantly. In five years, maybe I\u2019d have written and published my debut novel as well, worked at even better places, reached out to a lot more readers. But it\u2019s a huge leap maybe, and one I don\u2019t have the answers to, not right now.<\/p>\n

\"Nilesh<\/p>\n

10. Do you think social media plays an important role in the career of a writer or a poet to get established? Reasons!<\/h2>\n

I think in today\u2019s time, it does. Nowadays, it has become a shortcut for publishing house to directly approach a poet\/writer who has a considerable number of followers on social media for a book deal, instead of painstakingly reading through the millions of manuscripts they receive regularly. So yes, having social media popularity can effectively establish a poet\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

11. Any message you would like to give to others?<\/h2>\n

When it comes to poetry, don\u2019t hold back. Don\u2019t be afraid. Don\u2019t give up. Don\u2019t leave it for another day. Don\u2019t think, what difference would this make. Don\u2019t think, is it necessary. Don\u2019t go into it with half your heart. Don\u2019t compromise. It\u2019s either all of your heart or none of your words.<\/p>\n
