How To Dissolve Yourself as a Poet

A poem on how to be the voice of others by dissolving yourself — Do not think. Do not write. Not even attempt. Just be unarmed. Your naked self-open to stories and scars alike but remember not to use them as protective clothing. Stay naked. Your vulnerability is the fabric. Breathe through the fabric. It’s hard. Yet doable. Breathe. Even as you be and breathe- jump…

How Much Gentler Have You Been Today?

Gentleness can be the comforting cup of adrak chai that you can make for yourself too while serving others — When someone questions us if we are kind or gentle, you and I are most probably to picture us being kind with someone—maybe serving a comforting cup of tea, consoling a dear friend, or sharing a cosy hug. But most of the time we never think of being gentle or…

The Need To Know Your “Why” as a Poet To Do What You Do

Reflections & convictions from a Mathematician-turned-Poetpreneur — Can Poetry Change the World? One needs a stronger sense of purpose to pursue their passion and live life on their own terms. And I wanted to find the purpose of poetry when I had this idea of becoming a Poetpreneur. Poetry, as I believe, is the art of stringing words in the best order…

I loved the way you have conceptualized and choreographed this Bingz.

I loved the way you have conceptualized and choreographed this Bingz. Usually when I see a dance performance I find it more about the person but this stood out to me in a way it felt more like a flow of energy rather than a person. I don't know how else to explain but this is how I felt. I loved this performance.

…dy competes for so much of our attention, why would you consciously give it more leverage to do so? The anxiety of never being able to read all of the articles, all of the books, all of the brilliant ideas can result in a great deal of FOMO. Yes, FOMO isn’t just restricted to social media and technology.

So true. I too was into a bookmarking spree and was adding articles to be read into my mobile home screen so much so that the mobile screen looked cluttered.

Wait, should you really be saying that out loud? Maybe tone it down a bit?

I can very much relate to it.

I can very much relate to it. In fact, this happens with every piece of writing. And it's only very recently that I found a convincing perspective that if I'm able to navigate through life's myriad experiences without being anxious, it's because some writer at some point of time had already experienced it and dared to share it openly thereby helping me be prepared. And I want to be that 'some writer' to 'someone' when they are at the crossroads of their life. This one reason convinces me to be honest with my writing.
