Looking back my works of Literature
I started writing bengali poems after my english poetry book ' Ravishing Youth 300' published. my friends would express their views in jest that I would return in bengali writing like Michael Madhusudan Datta, the legend in Bengal. M M D is my only inspiration I dreamed in my childhood, I wanted to become a rebel poet like him. I ignored nobel Laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore , I dont have explanation why but felt deep to avoid him, and so I did. I loved Nazrul Islam and his songs.. any way
I write in both language Bengali and English, I could not learn Hindi I should have learnt..
all my reviews in periodicals and daily papers were an invasion to correct my wild fancy and construction of poetry.

This Land and My Being
This land and my Being : A journey through desperation, struggle and hardship.
Hi,
I am Albert Ashok. I am a Poet and painter!. And I have come a long way struggling my soul with all sorts of odds and oppositions.
I was born in a poor and illiterate family. Under pressure of poverty and lack of consciousness about education I could not finish my school. So, what is poverty better say how poor class lead life I know well. When you have no money , you have no power you are absolutely a fool, you have to digest all, tolerate all your opposition, insult . You have to close your eyes , stitch your mouth, feign as a deaf, control your coolness and restrain. I don’t mean that money is all, but it is unavoidable power and source of sustenance. How one become a desperate and helpless, take drastic steps the second man will never know.
Mistreatment, misbehaviour, are the things the poor people only can expect, not in India but everywhere of this globe, mostly Asian and African countries.
Two square of a meal a day is not secured for human kind. We love to remain semi blind, ignorant once our own security and comfort is achieved, we don’t take care for others who are poorer than us. We remain busy always to secure our lives, the need of every moment.
Think of other creatures, they don’t fight for their living place, food water and shelter.
The civilization has given us ( human) the utmost desperation and helpless state.
Animal world is better than us. They don’t have so much fear and concern about the things beyond their own life.
When some one begs money we advice. ‘hey man do work, why do you beg?’ But do we have jobs? Why unemployment grows day by day? I begged in my life jobs not money, door to door, no one seemed to give me jobs, everyone suspects whether I was a thief or not, I felt insulted, on then I was a small boy of fifteen!
How cruel is this world we know all, but most of time we forget it we see and look for a moderate situation of living. We don’t let worst situation let overcome us, we have faith over all people, though we fear, and remain beware of evil.
In my childhood I was very simple and fool, but little headstrong. I could not chalk out my daily life, or plan things and follow. A bit whimsical too. So sometimes I used to demand persistently to my father and become very much rebellious. I tried to stand on my own leg from the very early age.
Life was so hard and rude to me would not yield any fruit.
Art literature music were my love like other common people, I wanted to become many things, Writer, artist, doctor, journalist in my adolescence days, and knew without study I could not become any one of these professions. So, I tried hard to find a scope to get admission in school, but failed mainly due to my penury. The people around me used to encourage and discourage both, it was my dream any how to become a celebrity. This is I am talking about a time when there was no TV and Internet, It was around seventy in a hill state name Tripura.
People would say that many great men born in poor family, could not study in school, but anyhow became great contributing his or her talent to this country, hearing their story I got inspirition and confidence. So, dream would drive me crazy. I started earning and run my life as a hawker in Agartala, capital of Tripura. I sold ground nut, sold Daily news paper, sold tobacco product like cigeratte and cigars ,betel leaf, sold boiled pea near country liquor shop, in hope to have a good sale.
Everyone thought I am becoming an evil man, ( as naturally, people do not respect street boys, and think of them are all root of evils) so, began to despise me , I felt alienated from them so decided to run away from my native land.
One fine morning, around 8 o clock, in 1979 I escape from my home, with utter desperation and wet eyes, to see and explore my verginland of future, I came to kolkata , Westbengal through Assam by train, It took about six months. The six months made me memorable for rest of my life.
This kolkata is not known to me, very much different from my beloved Tripura. My Bengali dialect did not match with the dialect of west Bengal, Everything I found were quite different, People are much conscious about everything, life was faster than ours. Everything I would see with great amazement, even if people were to insult me I would notice how they react and talk.
Before leaving my home in tripura I had dream to become a writer or artist, so , when I arrived in kolkata, I decided to become a famous artist or writer and left the idea of becoming a doctor or journalist, this decicion was based on the remarks and discussion of local people who are poor.
Nobody knew me in kolkata, so geting a shelter was very tough.
Anyway, I came in contact with a renowned artist, his name is Bijon Choudhury,
My Teacher Bijon Choudhury and me before 1985
almost a year I had a shelter at his house as a domestic help boy, I learned the primary concept of fine art at his home. I expressed my dream to become an artist to him, he allowed, but I was very unfortunate, I had to leave his house, and beg for job and lived on the compassion of other people within a year. Many people had helped me .
I could draw little, and managed a job in the film advertising office and made layouts, designs and some poster.
That job also did not last, I came to college street area to find some job in publication field, it was probably in the beginning of 1982. Spending few years in ups and downs I have become little matured and seasoned to unknown circumstances of artistic crisis. I decided any way I have to learn English language, capable to read and write, learn drawing, painting , make myself fit and parallel to the people on graduatate level, atleast. I tried my best, People began to like me , love me , do something for me. My perseverance and endeavour started to yield result and brought me where I am now.
I have been drawing and painting as a profession for twenty five years, since 1982. I am self-taught and first started out as an illustrator in the book publication offices. I am always looking for new ways to express myself, and for the past years I have taken up Painting, as profession. I love art, literature and music.
At present, I feel all my infatuations and dream for art, and literature has withered, my ambition has changed totally, all I want the long I shall live and breath I shall work for global peace, I shall use my talent the skill of art and literature for this mission. This world really needs me!

I feel proud when lakhs of people use them, and when i get letters by post from my admirers in land and abroad, their appreciation makes me more serious and responsible.
I was underprivileged, got no chances for education, and formal training in schools, but my books are popular among school,college students and academicians. Its strange to think and dream, it gives me enough pleasure and inspirition to work for people more diligently. I have not been honoured ever officially by any Government and non-government organization. Maybe in India it will never occur in my life time.A prize may recognise my works officially. But I am not expectant, as I believe there are more people like me. Besides, the whole life i spent like a beggar, never could pay my house rent, never ever I was able to pay school fees of my children, never ever I wore a good dress and bought a nice thing for my family. and I don,t expect it anymore.
All my life I have been loved and honoured by common people for my calm behaviour and my profession art and literature. sorrowing lies in my life I understand this.
recently http://www.freedomtocreateprize.com/default.asp ( Article 19 and its another organisation Artventure ) has made me a featured artist on their website, its a sort of recognition that i am using my talent for humankind for long since 1982, in the field of art and literature.
http://www.freedomtocreateprize.com/featuredartist_Albert_Ashok.asp
I started using my talent in literature and art since 1987, when Tiananman square in China took the souls of democracy loving students, a blood stained chapter created by China Government. On then, I was not so much conscious about world politics. I shed my emotion for human through my poems for the first time. From then on, I started to look for a global peace for struggling common people in land and abroad. This reflect all the years in my works of art and literature. Lets see hand in hand what we can do for the peace and solidarity in this globe.
And want to be a man of PEACE.

From then on, I started to look for a global peace for struggling common people in land and abroad. This reflect all the years in my works of art and literature. Lets see hand in hand what we can do for the peace and solidarity in this globe.
And want to be a man of PEACE.
