The Self Portrait

The Self Portrait

Shibi S.

In an era when the digital world creates cocoons of your preferences and

alternate realities for you to inhabit, it becomes difficult for you to embrace

other people’s realities and create common grounds. By knowing yourself and

embracing your reality, you give freedom for the souls around you to do the

same. When you allow such contradictions to co-exist in your inner world, you

expand your world to live out multiple lives at the same time. You move from

soul to soul, from depths to depths and from eternity to eternity.

-Jan Joshi

The poet’s thoughts move between content and despair which she herself

cannot explain. She prays to God to make everyone achievers and not make

anyone a loser. May be that is her hope for all women.

-Meera Pradeep
