Why Voyage? Because it was one.
You must have read my earlier blogs and they are very much monotonous. Today I am here to share my journey through the love for writing. I was never a good writer, probably I am still not one. However, the passion for writing has emerged over time. It took almost two years to land here, and coincidently it was not started with blogs. I began my writing journey with poems.
Yes, I became a poet almost two years ago. FYI, I was terrible at languages and writing. The funniest part is, that I always thought poets were idle people. But that thought changed when I became one. It is one of the most beautiful gifts God has presented me.
It all began with some romantic (shayaris) — two liners, and with little meaning but today I can write well. I started listening to the shayaris created by others. Many of my earlier poems drew inspiration from the songs and stories of Bollywood. Thinking of this art I feel very doubtful and humble at the same time. I get doubtful because, usually after creating something beautiful, I cannot believe myself. At the same time, I feel humbled to have a small audience of friends and family around me.
I still remember the first poem I wrote to perform at the Gudhi Padwa festival at the University. “Ka Kalena” song from the Marathi movie “Mumbai Pune Mumbai” inspired me to write that poem. I also made some great friends during the rehearsals for that event. More about that event in a future blog.
To read/listen to those poems, do follow…
