Kilig, a Filipino word primarily meaning
‘elation or exhilaration’ does not have a
precisely translatable meaning. It is a feeling
that everyone experiences differently
especially in their adolescence and a
a common feeling amongst emerging adults. So take a journey beginning at Suton and eventually to the Serein, on a roll coaster of emotions and curveballs, and Find a small escape through our poems.
Saniya Shaikh And Gungun Mahapatra
Gungun Mahapatra was born and raised in
the coastal city of Visakhapatnam for 13
years of her life and currently resides in
Kochi and is looking forward to starting
college this year. She mostly likes to write in
free verse, and enjoys using alliteration quite
often to add a hum to her poetic
compositions, as her name coincidently
happens to be an onomatopoeia for the
sound of humming.
A few poets who have had an immense
influence upon her style of both writing and
perceiving poetry comes from Robert Frost
and John Keats.The first poem penned by her was out of
pure frustration and building angst of
feeling unheard by society which
eventually turned into a process of
perceiving the world by putting down her
thoughts as they run amuck, into poetry. In
In her free time, she paints mediocre
bookmarks obsess over Twenty One
Pilots bake cookies and crack ill-timed
jokes to fill awkward silences when in the
company of friends and strangers.
Sania Shaikh is a first-year undergraduate
student, currently residing in Kochi. Her
passion for poetry stems from phenomenal
women that have set the stage before her,
Emily Dickinson being a personal favorite.
She started writing at the young age of 9
years and has had her pieces published in the
school magazine and went on to become an
editor and illustrator for the same. Apart
from the magazine she has published her
work in poetry anthropology titled "365
Days of Green" at the age of 14 years.Her writing style has evolved immensely
over the years, she went from writing her
first poem about a chair to writing impactful
poems about social injustices and fun-filled
pieces about romance and friendship. Her
other talents include listening to music,
cuddling with her cat, breaking things,
accidentally making people cry and cooking
food barely fit for human consumption.
