In an interview with नई धारा, a distinguished literary journal with a rich legacy since 1950, I had the opportunity to engage in a thoughtful conversation with Arti Jain, a renowned storyteller and filmmaker. On the occasion of the anniversary of my favorite writer, Nirala, I shared my reflections on his life and work, exploring the enduring relevance of his poetry and ideas. This dialogue honors the spirit of नई धारा — fostering a progressive and creative discourse that connects literature and culture across generations.
