Here comes my TEDx talk. People ask me what do you get from poetry and literature?
My response is, the courage to say and accept the truth. In this video, there are things which hardly anyone knows about me because I wasn’t courageous enough to say it in front of anyone. If I hadn’t been involved with literature, perhaps I would have died with all the stories buried in my heart. Thank you, God, for blessing me my mother, my family. Thank you all the people who have always supported me in my good and worst, I love you all from the bottom of my heart.
I am thankful to those people as well who had no faith in me and didn’t give me a chance, because otherwise how would I have explored other things and learnt. All the bad things that happen to us make us who we actually are.
Here is the youtube link.
ज़िल्लत और गम का अंदाज़ा न होगा
गर फर्श पर हर थाली नवाबी मिली है,
मेरे दोस्त तूने दुनिया नहीं देखी शायद
तुझे तालीम फकत किताबी मिली है।
