I write poetry or I should rather say poetry writes me. The observing, the expressive, the singing potential of a person is a medium for the words to come out and connect the concrete with the abstract, the local with the universal the physical with the metaphysical, the earth with the sky. I feel that ideas are important elements in poetry. Most of my poems are ideas couched in emotions and feelings. These ideas are from the reservoir of a culture and tradition. I have often realized that they do not only belong to me, they are of humanity. For example, for me sari is not merely a dress, it is an idea. For me it is the essence of a culture that embraces within it affection, tenderness, beauty, love and demeanor of a woman. I am glad to share these ideas with others with the hope that one day poetry shall bring peace and unite humanity with its harmony. It is a difficult task to define poetry. Nevertheless, I have attempted to discover my being as a poet and what poetry is and what poetry means to me.
