“Don’t let that thought pass by....The momentdoes not return.Pen it in ink or use brush strokes in hues. Everything has a story to tell if only we would pause and listen. One art form always inspires another.” Mira Midha started writing poetry as a young teenager. She put every emotion she felt into her poems, seldom sharing her writing. It was her comfort zone. It was much later in life that she decided to share her collection and published her first book in 2014. Since then, she has published two more books of poetry. In this, her fourth book, she has penned poems along with anecdoteRead More...

We Are Braver Than We Know

Books by Mira Midha

The COVID pandemic......we were all in it, the entire world. It was surreal but it happened. There was isolation, pain, tragedies and fear.

Sometimes the pen and paper are my best friends. I love the conversations we have.

I come from a family of soldiers and as a daughter and wife of naval officers, the Armed Forces have a very special place in my heart.

I have dedicated this book to the men and women of our Armed Forces and also to other unsung heroes, some dear to me and some who have touched me in a way that I was compelled to pen my thoughts about them in poems. I probe the hidden

Whispers at My Doorstep - My Journey

Books by Mira Midha

In my poems I have tried to capture a profound spirit of all that has come into my life and inspired me. Moments that have touched me, humoured me or made me wonder ‘WHY’, have motivated me to illuminate and personify feelings into creating this book,

As a woman I am stirred to write about ‘HER’ in various personas, as in, Woman, A Woman Reborn, A Mother To Her Daughter.

As seasons change, nature paints its art with such beautiful harmony,

THE LONG WALK HOME......

By Mira Midha in True Story | Reads: 293 | Likes: 1

A van stopped next to a tired man lumbering his feet on the hot gravelled road. His oversized shoes were worn out and hampering his walk.
