Well, with no details about what Lisp implementation you are using, in
what environment and what you actually mean my "interrupt" this is very
hard to answer. The best I can do is say "Try Ctrl+C".

I am implementing in Common Lisp.
By interrupting the program I mean - at any time during the execution of
the program, whenever I press any key, the program should be able to read
data and then again it should resume the action it was previously doing.
Suggest me how I can do this.

Most implementations provide a way to break your program and continue
execution afterwards. The keys to do that differ across. For example, in
MCL it's Command+., in the LispWorks IDE there is a button that you can
click, and so on. You can continue execution by choosing some restart
that the implementation then offers to you.
Check out the docs of your implementation.

Hmmm, I find enough ways to break my programs myself--I don't need
help from the implementation. ;-)
