"I began creative writing with poetry. Such was the atmosphere during my childhood days" Bhaskar said while sharing his experience with the gathering. "My uncle used to recite Adyatma Ramayana in Malayalam with beautiful rhythm every night. That would have influenced me. The Marathi bhajan's and kirtan's from the nearby temples graced me. As such a poet was born in me" he continued. Later he read out his poems Chaitrakavita, Poorvashada, Goy thuji thambdi mathi, Thoch paavsu, Ek uttar, Maje maajar atha bhudvant jalla. Interaction with the poet also held.
