## About My Voice: A Selection of My Poems

These poems are not static pages meant to be stored away; they are the living drafts that ground my workshops. When I share these lines, I am inviting you to see the raw materials I use to help participants unlock their own stories. If you feel a connection to these words, consider this an invitation to step into a space where you can find your own voice, regardless of your experience.

Writing poetry is not about following rules or reciting lines on a stage. It is about creating the right conditions for your own words to surface. My approach to workshops is simple: we remove the pressure. Whether we are walking through the green expanse of Sunder Nursery or sitting with coffee in a quiet bookstore, my goal is to guide you past the blocks that stop us from writing.

### Why join a session?
We skip the technical grammar drills. Instead, we use sensory prompts—the smell of rain, the taste of fruit, or the architecture of a city—to get words flowing. These sessions are built on the same foundations you see in my poems: vulnerability, observation, and a willingness to see the world differently. You will walk away with new drafts, but more importantly, you will leave with a recharged sense of creative permission.

### Who is this for?
My sessions are open to everyone. You do not need to be an artist or a published writer to belong here. If you are looking for a space to process grief, celebrate joy, or simply find a quiet hour away from the noise of the city, there is a seat for you. I keep groups small, between 7 and 15 people, to ensure everyone has the space to be heard and to create in comfort. 

We regularly host gatherings across Delhi NCR and Bengaluru. Whether you are interested in our weekend nature walks, immersive Zine-making intensives, or intimate poetry salons, every event is a chance to move closer to your own creative truth.
