Happy to share that the first edition of #Rhyvers #Hindi Quarterly Magazine “Aabhaas” was recently launched in the 11th edition of Chandigarh Literary festival.
The beautiful magazine features my Hindi poem “अंतर्मन की पीड़ा”. Grateful to Seema Gupta, Editor & Affan S Affan Yesvi, Editor-In-chief for the publication.
Thanks dear Rachna Singh, Principal Editor, Thewiseowl Emag for the beautifully curated “The Repertoire” a Poetry Yearbook 2022.
A collectors’ item, the anthology has the best selections from poems featured in the magazine during the year. Poetic musings about the ephemeral nature of beauty and life, stultifying relationships, deja vu moments, wonder and charm of day-to-day moments, all find place in this fabulous repertoire.
Congratulations dear Rachna on completing the first year of the magazine and congratulations to all 65 featured poets. Honored to be one of them.
The New Year dawns and brings magic and hope. On my haiku journey this year, I made so many friends and grew richer by their friendship & creativity. Greetings for a wonderful 2023 to all.
January publications have begun and the first good news came from Bloo Outlier Journal, as it’s Winter Edition came in my inbox.
Grateful to the Editors—dear Alan Summers & Pippa Philips for featuring my senryu. Am honored and delighted.
The magic has begun. In the morning I saw Alan’s selection and posted a senryu and now reading the journal found Pippa’s selection- my grandpa senryu! Joy doubled. 💕

The Wise Owl’s Azure edition, September 2022 is out today and what a beautiful bumper issue it is!
Kudos to dear Rachna Singh & her Editorial team for a delightful & creative collection of articles, interviews, poetry & photographs.
The senryu special is dear to my heart as it carries a literary article on senryu by my mentor Pravat Kumar Padhy and features senryu by Guru ji- Kala Ramesh, Terri Hale French, Bryan Rickert, Susan Burch, Ravi Kiran, Arvinder Kaur, Mona Bedi, Vijay Prasad, Daipayan Nair, Vandana Parashar, Srinivas S and me. Hear Kala, Terri & Srinivas read out their poems.
The highlight for me was the tête-à-tête with Haiku Mike which is shared on the magazine’s YouTube channel. Mike’s enthusiasm & creativity is inspiring and there is much to learn from him.
