Vinati Bhola is an internationally published poet based in Delhi, India. She works as a lawyer but falls back on poetry time and again to keep up with the monotony of everyday life. Writing since the age of thirteen, she believes poetry is so much more than romanticizing emotions. ‘It is an art, as simple as breathing and as complex as living.’ Her first collection of poems Udaari is an unbridled downpour of love, madness, chaos and calm that gradually sweeps in at the end. The word ‘Udaari’ has been taken graciously from her native language Punjabi. It means to fly, to spread the wings and take a leap, a quiet soar against the wind.
