The Bud


-Renu Singh-

Renu Singh's literary career discovered itself with the Hindi novel, ‘Vaapsi’. According to her 'it was the first introduction to the writer in her'. Vaapsi is the first Hindi novel to be written and published in North America, and is honoured with the House of Commons Achievement Award in 2001. She has also written children’s books, two of which are in submission. She enjoys writing Poetry. Some short stories in Hindi have been published in magazines, and an English postcard story dragged itself to be among the first sixty finalists in a postcard story competition held by the Writers Union of Canada.

Renu Singh has just completed an English novel, 'The Return', which is in the process of being reviewed.

She strongly believes: 'Writings write themselves using the writer as a medium. And it is my effort to be a good medium, and I’m open to any criticism on my work.'

'Likhari' is very pleased to publish Renu's another short poem entitled: 'The Bud.'

 

Dear Rai Saheb,
 
Likhari is reaching new heights day by day, and I hope it continues to serve as a cozy blanket keeping the world of literature warm underneath. Sending you the pain of a bud in these few lines. I hope you find it worthy of publishing. Till next time.
Best Regards
Renu

The Bud

If I ‘live’
I will die
Stop!
It’s not time yet
To 'live'.
