Dr. P.N. Mohanty prides herself as the fortunate few who grew up in a state capital, Bhubaneswar, amid great dreams of some great visionaries of the country. The ambience had a significant impact on her impressionistic mind, and she always wanted to give back to her country and the countrymen whatever she could, in whichever mode she could.
Her poems are only a depiction of her perceptions about the life around, in the times around. ‘Contemporariness’ is the central theme; perception lends it the signature hue.
