“I’m glad you have no sorrows.
That your life is like a rose in bloom.
That your laugh flies up to meet your eyes
And your lips curve upwards.
Contrasting gently with my mellow mood,
As I carry my burdens around
with me in the pockets of my soul.”

Rhea Dhanbhoora has been writing since childhood, has published a book of poems (Poetry Through Time, published by English Edition in 2003) and is currently a Literature student, writing features as part of a full-time job. She can’t imagine a life without writing and one day hopes to be able to live and breathe off the words, preferably in an idyllic country setting somewhere. Food, music, reading and travel are high up there on the list of things she loves reading and writing about. Writing to her is, like life itself, an adventure – a journey to find her place, to define and redefine who she is over and over again and to live and learn through the process.
