Dohas, two-line couplets often in Hindi, Urdu, or regional languages like Braj and Awadhi, and chhappas, six-line satirical poems in Gujarati, captivate with poetic devices such as chhand (metre) and alankar (figures of speech).

We often spend our lives chasing aspirations—building grand dreams, projecting futures, and carrying the weight of wanting. From early childhood, we’re taught to wish for more, to climb higher, to always become. I was no different.
