I am an international award-winning artist and poet. Unlike my formal qualifications in Physics and MBA, which are backed by formal degrees, my existence as an artist is purely backed by my passion. A passion so strong, that made me quit my corporate career, stopped me from playing hide and seek with my calling, and taught me the true meaning of the word gratitude. It is with this gratitude, that I paint each stroke and write each line.

Hello Asmita I Wanna Say Thanks For Reaching Out To Me I Appericiated That But My Question Is What Inspired You To Write Unsaid And Why Did You Wanna Write Poetry ??

Asmita Rajiv Dear Emelia,

Thank you so much for your question.

Thank you so much for your question.

The last few years in my life have been the years of self-contemplation where I asked myself 'Is this it for me?', 'what is it that I want to do in my life?'. These were also the years where I was struggling with issues of self-worth, self-doubt, and peace of mind. As I started working on these self-created issues, I realized that the only way to work on them is to work inwards. And the more I started paying attention to my thought process, emotions, and belief systems, the more I started getting insights and clarity of thought and I kept writing them down. That's how Unsaid came into existence😊

Regarding poetry, I have been writing since I was in school.

Please write to me if you have more questions.

Love,
Asmita(less)

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!)

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
