I am from a long way from serving as the administrative and technical in-charge in the office of the former Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan to being a poet. I have published a poetry book titled ‘Agyat Antarman,’ inspired by his learnings on society, culture, life, and self-awareness. I am belongs to Prayagraj, as the name suggests, is a hub of history, culture, and tradition. It is as alive as any area on the planet. Prayagraj and the splendour of the Kumbh Mela and Triveni Sangam are known not only to Indians but also to people from other countries. I grew up on the banks of the Holy Ganga and discovered the truth ‘Gange Tav Darshnat Mukti’. I joined the RSS and volunteered at the Surya Foundation. I used to travel into the deep hinterlands and villages, where I encountered people living in extreme poverty and hardship. To make a difference in the lives of the villagers, we used to establish educational and health camps. All these experiences have deeply influenced my poetry.
As a child, I was amazed by the power of poems by Tulasidas and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. There have been numerous sources of inspiration for me. I’m overwhelmed by the beauty in the minor details of nature, places I visit, people I meet, and my diverse life experiences. It could be anybody, monuments, trees, songs, or anything else under the sun.
Poetry and art have always been my first love and real calling, I have a family and a life to support. I’ve worked as a junior engineer and later as a corporate digital telecom specialist. At the former Union Health Minister’s office, I oversaw the technical team and was in charge of the entire social media and personal office staff.
Poetry is to me what soul is to the body. To satiate my spiritual need, I read and write poems. It’s my gateway to my happy place, inner serenity, and chance to comprehend this wide and varied world.
