The first poem is titled ‘This Means War’ and I can relate to it wholeheartedly. It happens to me all the time. I have suffered enough at their hands. Who am I talking about? A mosquito. So, to all those out there who have suffered their bites, this one is for you. This poem covers all the action and emotions involved with our interactions with mosquitoes and that’s what I love about this poem.

The second poem is 'Stalked', and listen to it to find out who is stalking who. And no, its not the usual suspects...

Your loyalty towards the royal family and your motherland or your your dharma as a mother, which would you choose? The legendary story of Panna Dhai of Mewar, who sacrificed her son Chandan, to save the life of Kunwar Udai Singh the last heir to the throne of Mewar of the Sisodia dynasty. This story is told from the POV of Panna Dhai and her son on that fateful night when Banvir strides into the palace hell bent on eliminating the last person standing between him and the throne of Mewar.

Here’s a poem about finding ourselves and being comfortable in our own skin. This also happens to be the poem that got me a runners up position for an online event called A Rhythmic Affair S3. It is organised by Beyond the Box, a writing community focusing mainly on children but they do certain number of events for the adults too.

An introspective poem, forcing us to question the kind of person we are and with that insight, perhaps time to re-think or re-invent ourselves.

Two beautiful poems from the book #LeavesofAutumn and Other Poems. Poems with two completely different messages but both relevant in this modern age of social media closeness and yet personal isolation. The first poem 'Stop Suffering and Start Living' is full of wise counsel, captured in 12 lines for all those who are feeling down or are struggling in life. It represents the essence of life. There will be hardships - always, even seemingly happy people have them…But they find their patch of sunshine and choose to be cheerful. The second poem 'One Last Time', is a visual and high-impact poem about losing the will to live in this cruel world that has no time for troubled souls. There is something very haunting about the poem. I kept visualizing this cold-dark night and this girl neck deep in opaque inky water, her breath fogging, till finally, her head goes under.

There is something about childhood that keeps pulling us back to those carefree days, that gay abandonment, the long hours of games and laughter, and simple pleasures isn’t it? And that's what the first poem 'Ode to childhood' is all about. The 2nd poem 'Closed' has the poet questioning what would happen if all of us, held our light inside and didn’t share, could it be called perfection if it had never erred and could we really move forward in life without forgiving.

Based on a true incident, the story is an outpouring of anguish and helplessness that the writer felt about this incident. She says that she cannot understand the depravity that human beings can subject their fellow human beings to and since she can't do much about it, she writes. She hopes somehow, somewhere it will ignite a small spark.

So, what is the price of taking water from the well that belongs to the upper caste? Your life? The life of others? And what happens when the upper caste has extracted that price? To find out listen to the episode.

When you think of poems, generally you think of sweeping emotions, groundbreaking notions and deep thoughts, and perhaps multiple layers that you can peel away and discover something new each time. Very rarely do we think of poems and humor in the same sentence. But this time, I really wanted to recite something that was full of mirth and dealt with everyday living. So here are two poems related to the gym and unwanted guests. Do listen to them to see the poet's humorous take on the two situations.

Today I have 2 very special poems for you. What Are Days Like? and Joy on The Wings of Hope. Both poems are part of a poetry book titled Islands in The Stream written by the very talented Sonal Singh, published by Authors Press, and available on Amazon.

In What Are Days Like? she compares the days to mischievous children who are bargaining with the Sun for some more playtime. It starts with all this action; the bargaining by the days, then sulking and resisting, and then it segues into the days drifting off to slumberland. The personification is just so beautifully and thoughtfully done.

And in Joy on The Wings of Hope, she talks about life holding a deeper meaning when joy floats heavenward on the wings of dream and on the wings of hope.

So, today is very special. This is the 50th episode of Shweta’s Basket, a half-century. When I started Shweta’s Basket, a short stories and poems podcast in March 2020, I had no idea where this would lead. The only thought was to narrate stories written by you and me…The regular people, who had no platform to showcase our work and also to gift the listener a smile just like audio stories do for me.

But this was completely new and I was not sure if I could do it, or what it entailed. But I knew for sure that if I thought too much about it, I would chicken out. My family and friends agreed, so with their best wishes in one hand and armed with the required research, enough to get me started in the other hand, I took the plunge. It was like reading about how to swim and then jumping into the deep end and hoping …fervently… that your theory will help you keep afloat in the practical. But we all know how that goes. So, it was no wonder that I was barely managing to stay afloat. For the 1st nine months, there was only 1 episode per month. Which is akin to drowning.

But then Dec 2020 onwards, I found that my skill had improved a bit and now was the time to put in the hours to build the stamina. So dec onwards I started posting twice a week. Recording, editing the recording, learning the finer points of the editing software, searching for the right music, the perfect picture, uploading it to my host site Anchor and finally posting on social media. That was a lot of work, a lot of learning, a lot of frustration but utterly exhilarating.

This episode will be incomplete without mentioning these 3 people.

The very first person is someone whose name is lost forever in the lanes of bygone childhood memories. The person who introduced me to audio stories. I don’t remember who you are what your name is but I am eternally grateful to you for giving me this precious gift.

The other 2 people are #NehaParashar and #NeeleshMisra.

Neha has a podcast titled #PannoKeJharokhe. It’s my absolute favorite. Do listen to her. She has a wonderful way of pulling you in. She was the motivation behind me posting 2 episodes per week and pushing my boundaries.

Last but not least is #NeeleshMisra…Everyone knows him. He is perhaps the most loved and famous audio storyteller in India today. His #Yaadonkaidiotbox with Neelesh Misra, available as a podcast is my absolute goto podcast.

Both of them have double handedly saved me from going insane in this lockdown. Their narration is the boat that keeps me safe and afloat in this chaotic ocean of life in the pandemic. And if I can be even one person’s boat for a day, I would consider myself blessed.

There are two beautiful poems in this episode for you. Both are total opposites but are heartfelt and a result of what the poet with her sensitive soul has seen, felt and experienced. 'The Hungry Flames' was written in the midst of the Second Wave of the pandemic when all around there was misery and devastation. "The Support System' is all about feeling strong and powerful because of the right support system and both poems are such a mirror reflection of today's life. This pandemic has made us feel alone, but it has also made us realize the value of our connections. It is our support system that has given us the strength to deal with the mental vagaries of this pandemic and that is what we will draw our strength from.

A poem about 'New Hope', new aspirations, new goals. This poem is full of positivity and proactiveness. It’s not a passive poem, it’s a take-charge kind of a poem. The emphasis is on gaining new experiences and forging ahead with courage in our hearts.

This poetic prose written in Hindi is full of deep longing and soulful yearning. It tucks at your heartstrings. Through these lines, you can feel the poet’s pain and his struggle. And even though the love remained unexpressed, it ended in hope and that's just beautiful.

Domestic violence is an age old story. But slowly the voices are emerging from behind closed doors. More such stories need to be written and read to make it a subject that woman can talk about without feeling guilty or the fear of being persecuted.

Time and tide as they say, wait for non. Here the poet is reminding us the same thing. And also advising us to make promises and memories and to tuck them away safely with love. In today's world, which is in the grip of fear and despondency due to Coronavirus pandemic it is a very relevant poem.

We expect our elderly to behave in a certain manner. There is this stereotypical image that we have of what they should be doing after a certain age. The question of doing something new and exciting and invigorating is almost unthinkable. The max they can do is get into a sedentary or religious activity. Well, this story challenges that mind-set. Let us hear what this sexagenarian doctor wants to do?

This poem is a fun take on all the poetry forms that follow a strict syllable count like #haiku, #tankas, #cinquain and #sequin. It's about how tough it is to find the right words and feelings and then tailor them to a #syllable #count.

This is February, the valentine month. The month of love-shove. The month of strawberries, red and pink hearts and chocolates. Lots and lots of chocolates. So, shwetasbasket will try and bring you some oranges and lemon poems and stories. Just something to balance out the incredible sweetness that is oozing from everywhere leading up to the valentine day. This is will be our #unlove month, and you can head over here incase you want to negate that sugar high or if you are craving a different flavour.

So, continuing the theme, I have a poem written by the very talented Sonal Singh. She writes sublime poetry. Her she talks about Dusk and her promiscuity.

This is the month of love-shove. The month of strawberries, cakes, candies, chocolates, cards and red hearts. So at shwetasbasket will try and bring you some oranges and lemon stories. Just something to balance out the incredible sweetness that will be oozing from everywhere during valentine. This is will be our #unlove month, and you can head over here incase you want to negate that sugar high or if you are craving a different flavour.

And with that thought in mind I present to you this story. This is Kanagu and his desire to get married. Lets hear all that he goes through and in the end whether he succeeds in this endeavor or not.

The first one is titled – Be gone thou infernal cold, its about the kind of cold that literally walks in through your skin and  muscles and settles on your bones...brrr. Its hateful. The second one is – How to write a poem, it's about a person who is full of himself. On top of that he thinks he is a great poet and is trying to impress this damsel.

This episode is 2nd and concluding part of the story The Story Tellers written by Vijay Krishna Amaraneni. If you are here for the first time, then I suggest you listen to Ep 17 which is the first part of the story and then this part. For those who did listen to the first part here is a bit of a recap. We left the story at the part where our story teller was telling the ruffians that the protagonist had entered the forbidden forest in search of his younger step brother who had been riding a horse.

The poem that I have today is of a woman who is captive, when I was writing this poem at that time in my mind this woman was literally captive, but after finished the poem and reread it, I realised it is as true for a woman who is figuratively captive too, societal norms, inhibitions, others’ expectations of her. Here she is looking out of her barred and tiny window at the golden shower tree and pleading with it.

You know how some stories are – beautiful in their simplicity, almost lyrical, with powerful imagery, the inner struggle of the protagonist and a moral lesson all woven together effortlessly into a memorable tale. And the best part is they remind us of our childhood stories. This tale too, with its mix of fantasy and fable takes us back to our childhood days.

Both the poems have one thing in common.

There is a distinct before and after, and in between them is this moment and this phase that the poet is talking about. In both the poems things change and that emotion is what has led the poet to these poems. And both the poems bring us to a point where we become a new version of ourselves, a new 2.0.

It is the wedding season in India, but the covid-19 pandemic has brought about a drastic change in the way we have weddings here. The venues, menus, guest lists, brides dress, meeting and blessing the new couple, the gifts. But what has not changed is the feeling of the bride’s mother. I have penned down a poem about it. Its what I think I will feel and do when my daughter gets married.

A beautiful story that reminds us of the kind of stories our grandmothers used to tell us.  People, animals, morals all shaken and stirred together to make the perfect mock(tale) that was greedily drunk before bedtime. Better than hot chocolate or turmeric latte milk. This story reminded me of those times. Sigh!!!
