About

Welcome to my blog Enlighten poetry!! I am Shyam Agarwal and I live in Australia. I am a software developer by profession and my passion is Urdu-Hindi poetry. My father Abhey Kumar “Abhey” is a renowned Urdu poet, his one book “Ishq Kinare” got published in 2002, so you can say it’s in my blood. I have watched the Mirza Ghalib serial a lot of times, though I don’t have a very good understanding of all couplets of him it gives me interminable pleasure to listen to and sing his poetry.

Why did I choose the name Enlighten poetry? Every person is born to live happily and there is unquestionably one thing that gives them timeless happiness, some people think about it and seek it, and some don’t. I went through that phase of life where I thought a lot and read a lot of philosophical articles, books, and my father’s poetry.  Everywhere message is the same wordings are different, the main aim should be to happy and give happiness, and live life to the fullest without harming others.  I found that poetry is one thing that gives me ceaseless pleasure, that was my enlightenment, gave me satisfaction and pleasure which was missing.  I thought to promote my father’s poetry so that I keep reading his poetry and be in touch with my passion. I started promoting his poetry through singing and making videos of them, images and created a page on Facebook with the same name. Now I thought to create a blog where I can share my thoughts, my father’s poetry, and also others’ poetry which I enjoy.

Keep reading my blogs post, share your thoughts, and comment. Also, share nice couplets and thoughts that you like. Be a part of this dream.
