Bor Kothoki - Let's Write a Poem

We had a fun chat during Bihu. P.S. - This video was recorded on 19th April 2025#adda #poetry #stories #literarture #art #emotionsinwords

Connecting with Mitra Ba was a truly unforgettable fanboy moment! Our conversation flowed seamlessly, diving into fascinating topics like the interplay of aesthetics and rhythm, the unique challenges of exploring various writing forms and even indulging in a spirited rant about the magic (and quirks) of libraries. It was an inspiring exchange that reignited my passion for the world of creativity and storytelling. Mitra Ba's insights added fresh perspectives, making every second of our discussion a treasure. Moments like these remind us of the beauty of shared passions and meaningful dialogue.
