Why this matters to me
I started writing poetry from 8th grade after reading books from my school cources and then I started to read more and more poetry from the books available in the library, I read "Madhushala" by Harivansh Rai Bachchan and "Rashmirathi" by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar and I was amazed by the way they expressed their feelings and thoughts in such a beautiful way.
One of my friend also used to write poetry though he wrote in English and I used to write in Hindi but the way of expressing feelings through beautiful lines was something that we both loved! I wrote poems about my famiy, people close to me, to my best friend when we had a fight and even about my feelings and emotions
in 2023 I tried to write poems in English as well but as Hindi is my mother tongue the way of experssing myself in Hindi is much better than English and hence I didn't wrote much :/
I also got a few of my poems published in our school magazine ( I can't find the magazine as it was old but I'll add the poems here as well :) )
Later in 2024 and 2025 I submitted my poems to a art festival in my city -> Bhopal Literature Festival and I was really happy to see that my poem was selected and I even got a chance to perform my poems in front of a live audience which was a really amazing experience for me :) and then got a prize for it as well from the head of Dainik Bhaskar ( one of the biggest news paper in India )
I also wrote a poem for someone "special" in my life and I was very glad that she liked it and it made her smile and that felt like the magic of poetry to me ^^
Here are a few of my poems and photographs of the events where I performed :) I hope you like them :)
