Webinar on Writing Couplets (Hindi)

Image
By

Yesterday I conducted my first free webinar. It was an amazing experience. I enjoyed it and I hope others felt the same way.

Please check the recording on my YouTube channel.

I promised to answer the questions I couldn’t answer during the webinar. So here are my replies:


  • Writing about romance – @VidushiBhardwaj - Try to write what you feel. Imagine the person is in front of you and then edit it. 

  • Self-Thoughts - @NiteshKlair - Write it like a journal. Concentrate on feelings that are difficult. Make sure you pen those. 

  • Where do you get inspiration from? - @KiranUmrao - Music

  • Romantic lines with little humour – @NeelamGupta - Think you are having a conversation with your partner and write your first 3 thoughts. It helps in getting the first draft.

  • How to end any couplet. It always starts off very good but end bad. @ShitalDave - Try to write 4-5 versions of a couplet. Then pick the best and edit it. 

  • तवाइफ @VanshikaTiwari - If you want to write about it, I’d say watch a documentary and see why they are in that profession. Learn about their struggles and hardships. Then words will follow automatically.

  • I stopped writing in the lockdown and just couldn't do it again. I want to restart writing. - @BhavanaKuntal - You have to push yourself because no one else can. Start by writing a journal. Download Day One app. Start from there.

  • Poetry depicting everyday objects with the centre point of poetry. - @SahibKhandpur - Think of bringing magic to it. Watch the above webinar video and use same steps I told in example 1.

  • How to deal with blockages? - ChiragGoswami - Write often. Practice beats talent any day.

  • How to get beyond monotony n some cheesy lines - @PinalSawansukha - Write raw. Follow example 2 and 3 in the webinar video.

  • How to start writing - @AnuragSahrawat - By writing a journal.

  • Erotic poetry - @AnjaliDodhani - For this, write what comes to your mind. Then editing is always the king.

As you know, I am a small-time artist. I've come this far only because of 2 things: hard work and love from people like you who believed in my craft.


If you like my work, show your love and support.

Being Human

By
Under the roof of winter, Latches of my door open without making a sound. It's cold out there, Someone lost his ground. My soul shivers, Not that I'm cold. Someone from my land, Sleeps under the bridge while dreaming of gold. How can I... tuck myself in the quilt? When the winter storm is blowing, Hopes they have built. I have to get up, Do something... Before I start questioning who am I? And, they start saying...'Humanity dies.' Let's work out something, Take a resolution. Walk across all kinds of bridges, And, just be human... From centuries people are migrating for work or for better opportunities. But, not everyone has a smooth sailing...some live under miserable conditions. Most heart wrenching fact is nobody helps them, not even people from their own countries. I know, everybody is busy chasing the bigger purpose of life. But don't you think we should help people in need? Let's try to be better human being...

I Am Not Alone

By
Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.

Rewind - September 2023

By
 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru
