He strongly feels emotion holds power beyond human understanding and he says emotion appears best when arranged in the form of poetry. In his opinion poem is and should be completely de-attached from the poet just like a mother giving birth to a child and after the birth child is individual in its own right, although it will always reflect its former. His poems has been translated into Chinese, Portugese, Hindi, etc. He does not bound himself to just English poetry but he also writes in Hindi, apart from verbal art he maintains huge interest in visual art too.
