As I am so much keen into the expository writing, I find Tagore, Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, Paul Coelho through their various novels, poems and songs brought up the social life of the people so well and how to deal with the ups as well as the downs. I am just awe struck  reading their writings.

People around me influenced the earlier writing, the later my profession influenced me.
