| Introduction | As a child, I aspired to be an artist until one rainy afternoon, I discovered I couldn’t paint a rainbow as beautiful as the one that had appeared on the sky so I picked up a pen and started writing what turned out to be my first ever poem. At that very instance, I just knew - knew they dipped feathers in ink bottles because it brought those broken wings back to life. Words gave me so much freedom that I could almost feel what it's like to fly. I would have called that moment my ‘epiphany’, but I was only eight years old and didn’t know such a word as ‘epiphany’ existed. A little girl's voice in me screamed, "Forget sketch books Fizza! Get a diary!" After writing in closed-doors for over a decade, I have realized I possess absolutely no writing talent but I just cannot seem to put the pens down because – well, guess what? I have forgotten how to use a paintbrush! |
