Poetry & Creative Writing¶
Everything I have written, and everything I continue to write, flows directly from the heart. There were times when the pain of others felt like my own, and others where my own memories felt like those of a stranger. I have come to realize that once a thought truly touches the heart, it no longer belongs to just one person—it belongs to all of us. My only hope is that as you journey through these poems, you find within their words a true reflection of a moment or a turning point in your own life.

Featured Pieces¶
To help readers connect with your journey from the roots of Banaras to the tech hubs of California, these featured snippets showcase the emotional range of the book—illustrating the four distinct chapters of life and work.
1. The Witness of Roots¶
From Section: Khwab
This piece captures the nostalgia of home and the unshakeable nature of our origins.
The Banyan Tree
"Like Angad's unyielding foot, the village banyan tree stands guard at the threshold of my memory. I traveled across oceans, chasing dreams and deadlines, but in my silent hours, I am still that boy wandering through those dusty lanes. I realized that no matter how far we fly, our roots are the only thing that keeps us from being lost in the wind."
2. The Binary Soul¶
From Section: Zindagi
This snippet highlights the unique contrast of being a Senior Software Engineer who finds verses in code.
Code and Verses
"My days are spent in the logic of Silicon Valley, building terminals and debugging the future. But as the California sun sets, the logic fades into lyrics. I found that while code can build systems, only poetry can build a home for the restless heart. This is for everyone who carries a village in their soul while conquering a city."
3. The Search for "I"¶
From Section: Main
A more philosophical piece that speaks to the spiritual destination of your journey—Shunya and Mahadev.
The Silent Echo
"Between the noise of success and the silence of the self, I found a question: 'Who am I beyond the titles and the miles?' I burned the old shadows of my past to light up the path ahead. At the end of every road, beyond the 'Khwab' and the 'Ishq', I found a stillness that smells of the Ganges and feels like home."
Connect Through Words¶
Poetry, like open source code, is meant to be shared and discussed. If these pieces resonate with you, or if you're also exploring the intersection of technology and creative expression, I'd love to connect.
