A TUESDAY FEATURE


host: Muskaan Ahuja

guest editor: Vidya Venkatramani


“When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I

am, I found myself.”


– Paulo Coelho


Have you ever experienced a moment of truth, a coming of age – a moment when you

discovered yourself in an unexpected way?

Does this bring to your mind a haiku or tanka perhaps?


Here's a poem for you to savour:



salted caramel…

the things you know

you know


--- Vinay Leo


(From the book, Naad Anunaad)


Dive in and share your moment of self-discovery along with the haiku or tanka.

the sunrise

and the sunset on time

do we care

to see the light that opens

and close our day

May be you try a different 4rth and 5th line. I feel the images are too close to L1 and L2
