About

By


I'm in pursuit of perfection - what utter crap! Perfection is a myth. But yes, I'm constantly trying to hone my craft. I started my blog in 2011 when I moved to Boston. I'm trying to write since. I don't have the audacity to call myself a writer - for I know brilliant ones. I don't even call myself a poet. Not out of humility, but have you seen the deluge of new-age Instagram poets? This word has been abused, people!

I'm a girl who loves to write. That's all.

Many know me as Baawri Basanti. Few call me a drama queen. A very few call me a wordsmith. But no one, absolutely no one, will call me dishonest.

I'm blunt with my words. Raw in my expression. And fucking merciless when it comes to spilling truth on paper.

As a winner of Indian Blogger Award Poetry 2013, among top 6 Indian bloggers in creative writing in 2014, Best Indian Poetry blog in 2018 - I have a long way to go. My work has been published in an international anthology. I've won 34 blogging contests. But the most remarkable achievement of my writing journey - the growing number of people who copy my work. Oh, you copycats and plagiarists, you have my heart for your muted appreciation. Not my respect, though.

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills.

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
