Poetry is something which comes out when heart speaks.

For decades, at times when I have felt deep happiness, sadness, pain or just absolute calm inside, the heart has poured those emotions into words that flew out as poetry.

I started writing poems when I was 14 and while my writings continued mostly in prose, the poetry started flowing again in 30’s. Perhaps with maturity came a desire to express more openly.

Some of these poems are covered in my book Naurang- Nine shades of life, published in 2017. Some came later and some before. I have now decided to make an audio recording of what I have written as yet and what I will continue to write hopefully in times to come.

I share them in the order of when they were written. Hope they give you joy and a time to reflect in your own journey. You can view them on you tube by clicking on the title of the poem.
