Hi Malabika, Like you, I too am bilingual. I write in Malayalam as well. My first published book is a collection of my poems in Malayalam. And I too do not find it easy to translate my Malayalam poems into English or vice versa. Tthough I do try translations of poems by other poets. I do believe that it is poem that decides whether it takes birth in Malayalam or English.

True. Some days I feel like writing in Bengali, perhaps the topic suits the lyrical language. Some other days, it's just English I get inspired to write in! But, I have to say, it's wonderful being a bilingual! We enjoy the best in both literature!

That's okay, Dear Poet! Sorry that I can't read your poems in Malayalam! Some day I might translate my Bengali poems, although hard to bring the exact flavour! Thanks a lot for your rating!
