JOURNAL ENTRY18th January 2026,after wrapping up book signing at Delhi Book Fair (NDWBF) ✨✨✨ “Azaad ho gaye” —verses that resonated a broken heart — with tears of love… unreturned!— with vulnerable pain trying to seek refuge in self preservation! A space in the corners of every heart that loved so passionately that it consumed pieces of them — and left them more vibrant, more sensitive, more malleable! Verses that touched the heart, and pierced the soul! ✨✨✨ Sometimes when I appreciate my own poetry — Baazgasht, I am actually praising, not me, but the space, the emotions and the love that lead to the birth of these poems! Love, so beautiful, that it becomes art & poignance… It caresses your soul, not just your heart …It stimulates your existence, not just your passion! ✨✨✨ Delhi, you were kind! You made pieces of me — not whole!But ornamental … You did beyond healing —Because that is a destination I have already reached… You… You nurtured — you nourishedand, you validated Baazgashtwhile resonating with its echoes!while applauding its story,while extending the warmth;that we seek in Delhi winters! Thank you! Delhi… 🫂 You’re not a city —You’re an emotion, indeed! 💞✨
