Hi, I am
Gowri Bhargav
I’m Gowri Bhargav. I live in Chennai with my husband and two children. Though an Electrical engineering graduate I’ve always enjoyed getting lost in the world of stories rather than being connected with electricity. This led me to obtain my storytelling certification from Kathalaya academy. As a freelance storyteller I have been conducting storytelling sessions for children and workshops for teachers.
I enjoy reading and look forward to magical escapades in libraries, however I became a writer by chance. During Covid I joined Facebook and got introduced to various literary platforms like ArtoonsInn,Penmancy, Beyond the Box( BTB) and Chrysanthemum Chronicles where I discovered my love for writing and honed my writing skills. Though I dabble in prose, poetry is something that comes naturally and is closest to my heart. I’m grateful that my writings, both prose and poetry, have been published in around twenty national and International anthologies.
I’m also grateful to have received the BTB – best blog of the year award in the year 2023 and 2024.
This blog is a home to all my writings—prose, poetry, travelogues and much more. Do show some love by reading and commenting.

Somber Soliloquy
Sweet melodies sound discordant, Gentle zephyr has turned errant, Sublime moon seems coldly distant. Blooming springs are hushed and replaced by a frigid winter, Dark clouds of despair infiltrate my remnant life somber, My frail heart struggles to beat amidst...
Below C Level
“Tring…!” rang the phone punctuating the silence in the house. Shekar muted his office meeting and rushed to the living room to pick up his phone. “Hello! Is this Mani's father? I'm Mouli, his class teacher. I have something important to discuss.” “Yes, Sir! Is...
Soup for Santa
“Achoo!” Santa's nose was swollen red and his body was burning with fever. Christmas had been a grand success but unfortunately, Santa was down with the flu. “I'd told you to carry a flask filled with hot water and wear ear muffs. You never listen,” said Mrs. Santa...
Lilting Love Waltzing ‘ midst Verses
Mon Amour! Let’s weave our story in verses, dreary is the world mortal, Sculpting a fluid haven we’ll journey across realms surreal, Our souls would be garlanded with fragrant lyrical roses, Dreary is the world mortal, Mon Amour! Let’s weave our story in verses....
