Hi fellow marathoners, I am Nehal from India. I have been reading and writing poetry from when I was a child, quite literally. I wrote my first piece of poetry in Hindi when I was seven years old. Though I haven’t quite had the courage to share the vulnerable side of myself through my words initially, I am now more than comfortable to read and feel between the lines and to make space for my emotions to dance and pop through the words.<\/p>\n
For me, poetry is healing, uplifting, and probably, solely and concretely the only thing that got me through the pandemic. I cannot wait to engage with y’all and for starters, I would be participating in the Half marathon. I really wish and hope that I am able to pull it off. Besides anything, I am looking forward to sharing my work with amazing and talented people who are participating in this marathon from all over the world, hoping we could connect over words and I am equally excited to read the masterpieces that you guys are gonna create. More power to y’all. Let’s do this, marathoners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers!! Good day and my best wishes to everyone \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
