Dear reader,
I hold the belief that, for a person to understand poems truly, it is important to take a peep into the poet’s life. I think every reader deserves that. So here’s yours.
I am a 22 year old, Indian. My dad served in the Indian Army and my mother is a teacher. Almost needless to say I had a scattered childhood, and never lived in a town for more than 2 years. I’ve almost seen all parts of the country and have friends everywhere. Setting aside the cool parts of coming from a military background, here are the top 3 not so cool phases; leaving a family behind in all my friends, moving to a new unfamiliar place, and establishing the warmth of a home all over again.
When a lot of my poetic themes involve heartbreak, deployment, and seperation, it’s of importance to understand that that I am not sad. It’s just that, more often than not, the stories that I want to narrate, are incomplete. Not to sound like an old lady, but I like to think that I have seen seperation a lot more closely than what is normal. And love? I’ve felt that too. Hightened because of the ticking clock.
With this in mind, I’d encourage you, my reader, to read my poems. I consider myself an amateur poetess. It will thus be encouraging to receive comments. I have attached my email address in the contact page for your convenience. Thank you for sparing your valuable time to check this page out. This support is appreciated.
Cheers!
Anagha.
