Har maa ki kahani sirf mamta aur muskaan se nahi likhi jaati. Kuch panne uljhan, khamoshi, thakaan aur un sawalon se bhi bhare hote hain jinhe woh kisi se keh nahi paati.

We often celebrate motherhood, but rarely talk about the emotions that silently accompany it.

“Adhura Mann” ek nayi maa ke uss antar-man ki awaaz hai, jo maa banne ki khushi aur apni badalti pehchaan ke beech kahin khud ko dhoondh rahi hai. Woh khush bhi hai, kritagy bhi hai, phir bhi uske mann mein ek anjaana sa khokhlapan basa hua hai.

This poem is a reflection of those unspoken feelings that many mothers experience but few express.

Yeh kavita un ehsaason ko shabd dene ka ek chhota sa prayas hai, jinhe aksar samajha nahi jaata, par jinhe samjha jaana bahut zaroori hai.

Because sometimes, healing begins the moment we realize that we are not alone.
