Nivedita Dutta was born during the year 1996. She did her early schooling in Mathura then moved to Kanpur in the year 2003 where she got the chance to realize her true self. The poem ‘When I set out for Lyonnesse’ by Thomas Hardy inspired her and made her write a poem on her own. From that very day she started taking verse as a hobby which turned into passion one day. Other than poetry she is deeply interested in reading books, playing games and travelling. She loves enjoying with her dear ones who encouraged her to overcome every hurdle of life.
The poem is not about you
Though it carries with itself
The first letter in your name
Is the point of its origin
...
To know what was beyond sea was their craze
The craze made them start their voyage
Thinking that this voyage might be their last
They carried with them the memories of the past
...
Don’t cry if you ever fall in the mud
For every flower once was a bud
It would’ve taken time for a tree to reach its peak
Woodpecker too at first would have failed to use his beak
...
I won't throw that cutlery away
That had slashed your finger
Mercilessly
Souvenir it stands
...
