Sudipta Mukherjee

Cancer

I love to travel, to see new places; I love to cook new and interesting recipes; Good movies and fine wine are two of my greatest pleasures.

That I die before realizing the dreams I have set for myself.

I am yet to achieve the greatest achievement of my life.

The first time I travelled to Europe on a holiday. But again, with life, the definition of ‘high point’ changes constantly.

I admire all achievers, in any field, in any country.

Raunak Gupta in The Crossroads by Sudipta Mukherjee. One of my characters.

Esteban, The House Of The Spirits by Isabel Allende.

Too many to enlist. I like a good story written by anybody.

God Talks With Arjun; Gitanjali; The Tibetian Book of Living and Dying; The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari; Long Walk To Freedom.

The House of Spirits – Isabel Allende.The Museum of Innocence – Orhan Pamuk. The Lowland – Jhumpa Lahiri. And The Mountains Echoed – Khalid Hossini. Those Days – Sunil Gangopadhyay. Actually there are many more.

Satyakaam; Masoom, Izazaat; UttorPhalguni (Bengali); Araner Din Ratri (Bengali). There are a lot many of them.

I wish I could remember every word of every book that I read.

Readers, it is for you that I am.

Painting.

Gitanjali.

Generally I write at night, and in my study.

Silence.

I can and I will.

Not a ritual or a superstition, but I like to light an oil lamp or a candle on my study table when I write.

Passion. Patience. Perseverance.
