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.

Freedom
I need freedom from… the self- doubts that hold me back, Toxic ties where connections lack, Memories that frequently haunt, Past failures that seem to taunt. I need freedom from… Grudges that my mind harbors, Resentments that forever murmur, Anger that...
My Poetic World
In the soulful world of poetry, Verses dwell ‘midst vivid imagery, Breathing in perceptions sensory, We travel to realms otherworldly, Mind sojourns in trance from our body, Scenes unfold as we float weightlessly, An escapade from reality, From the...
Nightly Escapades
Theme : A sky full of stars In a sky full of stars, I see my wishes flutter, I bury the piled up worries that seem somber, Painting dreams with my vagrant mind, I mirthfully retire from my daily grind. *** Waltzing across the firmament in gay abandon, I...
My Poetic Journey
Wand'ring words Bombard my lone mind, All feelings slowly channel, Soon, in fits and bursts they manifest Replete with emotions strong, Redundant and raw The first draft… Ruthlessly I chop, Painstakingly I ponder, And chisel my labored creation, Succinct yet...
