Khirod Dalpati, India
— I was born in 1974, in a village in
the Eastern Ghats, a region of beautiful hills and valleys. I studied at the
Seventh-Day Adventist Institution, living at their hostel during all my studies
and spending my holidays in the countryside, helping my father in the fields,
grazing cattle and guarding the cashew nut forest. That was an adventurous
life, since I had to confront also wild animals, feeding at times on berries
and drinking the water from a stream. In my high school days I loved reading
poetry, especially poems by my favorite poets —such as William Wordsworth,
Robert Frost, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and others (my favorite poem
being "Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening")— In my college days
I also received a first prize in poetry competition: that opened a door to the
poetical world and I ventured into... After graduation I moved to the state of
Sikkim, in the higher Himalayas, where I started my career as a teacher. There
I captured the beautiful mountains, hills, vales, as well as their people, and have preserved them in my heart. I’m currently living in Surat, Gujarat, where I work as a teacher, Chaplain and Placement Officer in Metas Adventist College.
