We are in an era of the world’s worst pandemic. Is there any literary offering the world is expecting from you?



Like many writers around the globe, I have used the Coronavirus pandemic period to indulge my passion which is writing. And I have been able to produce a reasonable amount of work. Apart from teaching, one thing I can say I have done consistently in the past thirty years is writing creatively. I see it as a calling and I believe it will stay with me for life, by God’s grace I have written a few poems and short stories since the lockdown in March 2020. Mind you, it has not been easy considering that there are many things agitating people’s minds in our country, and I’m not immune to these troubles. However, I try to write whenever I can.
