Here are excerpts from an exclusive that Robin Hibu had with Northeast Today recently.
NET : You are a role model for the people of the northeast. Who is/was your role model?
Robin Hibu : Mahatma Gandhi is someone who has influenced me immensely. My father, Jesus Christ, and Mother Teresa have also had an immense influence on me. So, I think the question is that if somebody has to be different from others it has to become out from the heart.
NET : Your writings always touch the hearts of the readers as they seem to come alive. Your thoughts on this?
Robin Hibu : In life, if somebody is speaking from the heart and if someone experiences something on the ground, thoughts and writings always tend to be natural. I have experienced things from the ground, so what I write I would say that I write from the core of my heart. I want to relate it from ground zero.
NET : Would you like to share something about a father-son moment with our readers?
