This week it is my pleasure to interview Debadrita Sarkar. Would you please introduce yourself to my readers and share something about your life.
Debadrita Sarkar (20/11/2008) is an author, bilingual writer, bilingual poet, blogger, Podcaster, record holder, self illustrator, editor ( Magazine), compiler and advocate for environment, Humen rights and mental wellness based in India, who is also interested in translating. She has opened a platform “ Abhiyanam", where she had held campaigns and published e-books and online magazines for the advocacy of environment, Mental Wellness and Humen rights.
In my current life, I am now fine with the confidence to grow up more and to improve my platforms and literary skills more and more. So, in these holidays, I have written 8 books more after the first publication.
When did you write your first book and how did it come about?
I wrote my first book during the cold December days of 2025, when I was miserable about publishing books and the poems were only there who comforted me.
At last, after many struggles (it occurred mainly due to not having a computer and doing all the typings on a mobile phone), and overcoming frustrations, my first book “A Poetic Heart : Poems On Self Compassion” came out in early 2026, with the hands of Writer's Pocket Publication.
Before, my works were on many periodicals of India, UK, USA, Netherlands, Croatia and Chile. But, still on that day, I felt like I am a real author now. So, in these holidays and all, I have finished and published 9 books (8 authored and 1 co-authored) with three more publications, Everlasting Publications, Twin Ink Publications and Ukiyoto Publishers.
Do you always write in the same genre or do you mix it up?
I actually started mixing up. Previously my main these was poetry, but I wrote a short story successfully published on The Statesman and some articles which were published in different periodicals too.
After writing four poetry books (three authored, one co-authored), recently I had published two non fictions and three fiction novellas.
When you write, do you start with an idea and sit down and let it evolve, or do you make notes and plot the chapters beforehand?
I do start with an idea, sit down and let it evolve and then write the story arc and chapters. It's my practice from the first.
Would you like to give us a short excerpt from one of your books?
Yes. Obviously.
“ The Ancient Stones (poem)
On the earth, the ancient stones are still, since the ancient age.
They carried many tales of pure love and hope. Again, they saw many betrayals, deaths and curses. Many flowers awakened from their hearts, but again disappeared between the moments of life and death.
But nothing alters the formers, at their utmost. They are still in their places, weeping and smiling for none. Within themselves, they find Gods, They are the non-living hermits. “
(Awakening Of Soul - For Those, who want to heal.. by Ukiyoto Publication).
This is a poem from my third poetry book. Now, this is a paragraph from my second fiction novella .
“ The day is whole different. The bank of the pond is too filled with mango smells. Many of them have fallen. So, she gathers some of the small ones among them and puts them in her frock pocket. She will give them to her mother.
Then, she looks at the pond and the reflection of her, on the water surface, formation of ripples and hopes.
This is the only place that understands her and the only place to give her peace and confidence on her path of dreams. Staring at the sight, also remembered everything, from sweet memories to nightmares and of course, this pond has been a timeless spectator of them, since she tried to know more about her dreams.”
From the second chapter of “The Change - A Story On Empowering Girl Children ( Everlasting Publication)”.
Which of your books gave you the most pleasure to write?
I got the most pleasure when I was writing, “The Great Epic Ramayana: The Legends and Lessons” because it needed immense research and I got to know many unknown things about the greatest epic Ramayana, for which I became devoted to Lord Lakshmana, Maa Sita, Lord Hanumana and Lord Bharata who served selflessly to Lord Rama.
How would you describe yourself?
Young still ancient, history, mythology and literature enthusiastic Calm and a deep observer of the silent world.
What do you do when you are not writing or reading?
While not reading and writing, I usually think about how to evolve a more good idea to write a book, staring at mother nature, illustrating and always engaged in new things.
What is the biggest factor for you when selecting a book to read?
I have a wired practice before choosing a book to read. At first I read some lines at the first and if it feels captivating I would read the last lines of the last pages of whole story/ novel, before reading the middle portions. If its feel captivating still along with the title of the book/ story, I certainly finish it.
Do you have your own website?
Yes. I do have. I have two person websites and three websites more on different themes.
