Introducing myself

To Illumination

Hi, to all Illumination writers and editors. This is GK here from India.

I enjoy writing and love to read. I write on a multitude of topics like nature, history, equality, travel & art and society. A dash of the Indian diversity and its vibrant colours is sprinkled on some of my work with a lot of love, too.

Flashback: I have been crystallising my thoughts and experiences in the form of poetry and prose since my childhood. I remember writing poems, which I loved to sing when I was little. I continued this as a hobby for many years. The years of my graduate studies and post-grad were the times when I perhaps lost touch with poetry for the longest time. I regained the momentum slowly as I started working, reading and travelling. As time passed by, I started to feel words bottled up within me eager to flow. Writing led me to want to write more. And, I started observing things, people, feelings and understanding even myself more deeply.

I was recently introduced to this platform, Medium, by my husband (when he shared an article with me) and I am avidly reading and writing on it since then (May 2020). It is amazing.

Writing to inspire and get inspired in turn!

Thanks to Dr Mehmet Yildiz for providing the opportunity to share and learn from the “Illumination” network. Happy to be a part of it.
