Biography
The Poetकवि का परिचय
Shashi writes from the margins of memory and the center of longing — in Urdu, Hindi, and English, across the borders language draws and dissolves. His poetry is an act of listening: to the silences between words, to the weight of what is left unsaid.
The Mehfil — a gathering, a salon, a space where voices meet — is his metaphor for what poetry does: it calls people together across time, across distance, across the untranslatable.
Rooted in the classical ghazal tradition yet alive to the contemporary moment, Shashi's work carries the fragrance of Ghalib and Faiz while speaking in a voice unmistakably his own — tender, precise, and suffused with a longing that refuses easy resolution.
