Poetry and Handwritten Letters
I believe in the power of words that you can hold. This space is a collection of my creative process, using vintage typewriters and ink-stained pens to turn your messy feelings into something real you can keep.
Calligraphy is another way I love to express my thoughts. This is a quote of mine, "Memories are beautiful but the way they comeback, can give you chills even on a warm day," written with a Click Aristocrat fountain pen and Lamy crystal ink. The flow of ink on paper feels like a meditation.
"Handle with Love." This photo captures me at my typewriter during a writing session in Cubbon Park. The typewriter isn't just a tool; it's a partner in my creative process, helping me give a voice to the feelings in my heart.
This is a poem I typed out, full of my thoughts on walking through life with hope and finding answers in people's hearts. Holding these typed words, with their little imperfections, feels so much more real than seeing them on a screen.
During my first time at a Cubbon Park writers' meet, I wrote this poem for another poet. It's about how a single word or letter can connect two souls. The energy of writing for someone right there in the moment is truly magical.
A moment captured by someone else, as I write in my diary. My hand, my pen, my thoughts flowing onto the page. This is where it all begins, with a simple, private act of writing.
A simple truth written on a sticky note: "Writing down the truth with love is poetry." Sometimes the most profound thoughts come in the simplest forms. This is a reminder I keep close.
A handwritten note about those nights when dreams feel too real. "Somedays. Somenights, I do not want to sleep because I'm too afraid to have you visit me in my dreams." Writing these feelings down helps to understand them.
A page from my journal, a simple instruction for anyone wanting to understand me. "You don't have to know my mind's chatter. Just listen to my heart and you will know love." It's an invitation to connect on a deeper level.
About The Art of the Written Word
When I sit at my typewriter or pick up my fountain pen, I do not use a backspace. Every mistake, every misaligned letter, and every drop of ink on the page is part of the story. If you request a piece, you are not getting a perfect digital print, but a human piece of paper that carries the rhythm of my hands and the exact feeling of the moment I wrote it.
My writing process is grounded in simplicity. I use a vintage typewriter for my poetry because it requires me to commit to every word. Unlike a screen, once a key hits the paper, it stays there. For my calligraphy work, I rely on my Click Aristocrat fountain pen and Lamy crystal ink on fountain-pen-friendly Ayush paper. This combination gives the ink the room to breathe and settle, creating a texture that feels tactile and alive.
Whether I am writing a 'pyaar ki chitthi' (love letter) for my subscribers or a poem for someone I meet by chance in Cubbon Park, the goal is always to create a tangible object. You can hold these letters, feel the weight of the paper, and smell the ink. It is a slow, intentional act meant to interrupt the speed of your day.
If you are looking for a gift, my subscription boxes include these letters alongside a wax seal kit, so you can learn the ritual of sealing your own thoughts. My work is not about perfect handwriting or flawless grammar. It is about the honesty of the message. If you feel like your emotions are a bit of a mess, that is exactly where we should start.
