As a child, it was a diary and my pencil.

Today, it is the phone and my fingers.

Emotions and expressions are the same -- unrestrained, unadulterated, unpolished and unconditional.

Being a writer was never the choice; it was destiny and every single couplet I wrote inched me closer to it.

Kaafir is a collection of moments I penned down; moments of uncertainty when I doubted even the Universe and moments of unshakable faith when I felt the inner ocean calmer than lakes!

Kaafir is closer to my heart; these unpolished verses defining, redefining, chiseling and sharpening my positivity and liveliness. And that's what makes the journey of being a writer worth every pain and anxiety -- you end up becoming a good human being.

Yeah... being Kaafir made me being Richa, as natural and as candid God wanted me to be!

Amen to more such verses and Gratitude to you all for reading the uncooked thoughts in half-baked couplets.

Long live the Kaafiri!
