I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

Hi Megha,
I have watched your progress for more than a little while, and noted the glowing accolades that you have engendered through your work. Poetry is a bit of a minefield for me (as is all art, to a degree, but poetry seems the most dangerous) in that I never know when I might be treading on the wrong spot – misreading the signs – heading in the wrong (write) direction.
I frequently recall (and re-quote) the words of an artist (who’s name, strangely, I cannot recall). Apparently he was approached in a gallery by an admirer who asked to be enlightened about the meaning of a particular painting. The artist replied, “If I have to explain it, then you will never understand.” Those words have always resonated for me – an artwork it’s it’s own explanation, it is expressed the way it is expressed because there simply is no other way to properly express it. An artist shouldn’t need to explain. One should merely point to one’s own work and say, “there’s your explanation.”
But I am about to contradict my own edict, because, I confess, much of your work I simply don’t understand. I do understand the direction you are coming from, but don’t really understand the direction that you are going.
So may I humbly ask you …. when you say ‘my body lives as a threat’ what do you mean? The inference seems to be that your body lives as a seperate entity to ‘you’. It would imply that your body is like some sort of inconvenient appendage. Who or what is it a threat to? To ‘you’ I assume. Is it that your body’s mortality poses a threat to your own existence, or that it’s functional necessities impose limitations on your own reality?
That you reside in a female body, I assume, is central to the issue (mine came off the production line in the factory next door), but I remain unsure why, as such, it imposes a ‘threat’.
So could I impose upon you to provide some clarification? When you say, ‘my body lives as a threat’, what do you actually mean?
