प्रेम
सिनेमा की तरह होता है
समय और स्थान का भान
मिट जाता है,
सारी परछाइयाँ
रंगीन हो जाती हैं
और सारे प्रतिबिंब
सजीव।
प्रेम
असम्भव पर विश्वास होता है

In Virginia Wolf's words "I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman." So we have made a conscious effort to have the first featured poets on Lab Azad be women; and discover the world through their eyes

[Lab Azad @_LabAzad]

We are very excited to roll out a very important section of Lab Azad today - the long awaited "Featured Poets" section :)

The idea is to introduce to the world exciting new Indian poets through a peek into their thought process as well as their selected poems.

Pro tip: If you are shy about posting your poetry for the world to see, you can choose to publish your poem *anonymously* at Lab Azad. (You can of course claim the poem in your own name at a later stage)

"It is, in its subtle yet powerful way, a discipline for re-engaging with a world we take too much for granted."

"Poetry is important because it makes us think, it opens us up to wonder and the sometimes astonishing possibilities of language. ..."
