Kanishk Bharadwaj, from Uttar Pradesh, India, is a passionate learner and poet who has written more than 250 poems. His journey began during a three-to-four-month period of bed rest, when writing started as a way to pass the time and gradually became an art he deeply valued. His poetry is inspired by personal experiences, everyday life, and the emotions of others. He believes that a pen and paper can be true companions. Apart from writing, he enjoys collecting banknotes and owns notes from over 40 countries, including a few from pre-Independence India. His aim is to give unspoken emotions a voice.
