They say, “Why have you chosen this diction?”
And I say, “The diction has chosen me, not I.”
Words flow like free birds flying in the high sky
Emotions have already penetrated my reason in such a way
that they sail in the boat of my imagination!
My verse tickles me all the way…
Like a luminous glow, my heart is enlightened with mighty phrases.
My soul is pregnant with one language…
And that is the song of my essence!!
I have not chosen this medium
Rather I am the chosen one!
Back to the torn pages of history,
Every day I visit the old lanes of my memory.
Thus my verses trace their voices!!!
