 He is performing many jobs at a time very well. He writes columns, translations, Dramas, Essays and do poetry. He thinks that when a person want to express his feelings he look for the ways. The method he find near and appropriate to is feelings he adopt it. That's why he also express his feelings through all the ways.

He thinks that in this age of Electronic war every thing is rapidly changing and people are adopting simplest ways for doing things. New values are getting their way in our lives. In this situation Literature and economy are mixed up and the literature is lacking concentration and interest of people. The people do not have that much interest towards literature. The reason behind this is that many problems of every day are directly effecting it. The literature of today is accepted by mind but fails to leave long lasting impact on heart.
