Bhupati DasDr Bhupati Das, professionally a manager-technocrat, belongs to the generation of poets comfortable in creating pictures of moods, sensations and life in simple and lucid style. He writes his poems all in lower case without use of comma, full-stop orsemicolon so as 'not to disturb, break or interrupt the flow of thoughts' of the reader (as he remarked once, 'Then everyone would have equal rights to exist - God, I and the letters'). His earlier published poetry collections are: May I (1997), Life and Beyond Life (2004), Who Says (2011) and God in Colours (2013).
In his poetry, the reader notices his attempt to delve deep into human emotions, turbulence and contradictions while playing around contemporary themes to reflect his personal beliefs and internal conflicts. The poet always introduces the conscious intervention of an artistic imagination without straying from the context of life. His poems depict various visuals of life and carry soft notes of life, spirituality and love-waves. In this collection also, readers would witness reflections of ardent spirituality, flavors of life, spirits of earthen love and openness to hope, expressed in a language of excitement which one can instantly trust and identify with.
Dr Das scripted a tele-film,
Call of the Valley, using his poems extensively, which was later selected for participation as India's only entry in 23rd Japan festival for short films in 1996. Guwahati Doordarshan had produced and telecast two tele-programmes based on his poems,
Man and Machine and
And the Heart Awaits.
Having spent his childhood in Guwahati in India, Bhupati Das went on to do engineering from BITS, Pilani, and management from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. Subsequently, he did PhD in management from Gauhati University. Having served the oil industry as Managing Director of Numaligarh Refinery Ltd and subsequently of Bharat Oman Refineries Ltd, he later completed two tenured assignments as Emeritus Professor, Dibrugarh University and as Adviser to the Centre for Leadership Development of Assam Administrative Staff College.
