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 writingsโprose, poetry, travelogues and much more. Do show some love by reading and commenting.ย

My Poetic Journey
Every morn I rise with glee, Toss out doubts that held me, free. Sowing seeds of daydreams once more, To wishes, I open the door. Plucking possibilities that shine, I traverse paths exclusively mine. Renewed hopes like winged butterflies...
Hope
Theme : A stone of hope can cause a mountain of despair to fall Hope doesn't manifest like a Phoenix with golden wings, Nor does she flow like a sprightful freshwater spring, With the colors of eventide she seldom appears, Nor does she bathe your soul with blinding...
A Poet’s World
I like to slow dance with the autumnal leaves, My eyes oft feast on the kaleidoscopic colors that eventide weaves, โNeath the sequined sky I Iay in trance, With the autumnal leaves I like to slow dance. Passionate verses I pen to the moon at night, I...
When Dirges transformed to Melodies
Caged in a bottomless abyss I always tethered to light, Creatures of the dark taunted me with vicious screams, I emerged with wings of gold despite the dreary dreams, Caged in a bottomless abyss I always tethered to light. Creatures of the dark taunted...
The Key to Happiness
Theme : Happiness is an inside job My restless soul sought for happiness everyday, As my ambling days seemed to wallow in somber grays. I asked the azure sky and the shimmering stars at night, And the songsters that seemed to enjoy their untamed...
