    Souhardya De: Student, Writer & Journalist


    Reporter: As we all know, you are a high school student. What
    inspired you to become a writer and journalist?
    Souhardya De: I wanted to write about the Indian art, culture and
    mythology from the perspective of a young generation; that’s why I
    became a writer. As for becoming a journalist, although I'm still not
    a professional one, it was working at the Statesman VOICES, here
    in Kolkata, that inspired me.

    R: Why did you start writing?


    S: In writing, I find a new world outside schoolbooks. Yes, schoolbooks are important, but
    when you enter this land of imagination called writing, you find it so beautiful that you don’t
    want to leave. 

    R: Does writing give you energy or makes you tired?


    S: Writing is the source of my enthusiasm, my emotions, my intellect and my creativity.

    R: If you were an animal, what animal would you be?


    S: An African Lion! Majestic, ferocious, hungry and courageous!

    R: Before we sign off, any message you would like to give out to other young writers/ poets?
