Born in Kerala in the year 1962 in a middle class family of 8 children the author after having completed matriculation joined a pious group to have God experience it was in fact an escapism from harsh realities of life. Soon the author came out of the pious group because of rigid and extreme ways of religious practices. Then, became a teacher, married a tribal woman and settled in Meghalaya with three children. The author wished to thank the SMC members of the Village Durbar Higher Secondary School Swer and my student Hamson Lyngdoh for rendering their immense support in shaping this poem.
