कोई आज़ाद पंछी नहीं
ना ही उसका कोई पंख

मैं तो वह छत पर बंधे
तार पर टंगा कपड़ा हूँ
जिस पर क्लिप
लगाए जाते हैं

हवा का झोंका
भरोसा दिला गया
कि आंधी आएगी
मुझे छुड़ाने

Shubhshree is a storyteller and design educator from Kota, Rajasthan currently based in Bangalore. She is a tea lover, bibliophile and as outgoing as a houseplant. Being a professional illustrator, she predominantly uses visual and text together to create meaning and conversations from the mundane around her. Her personal context finds refuge in things like a clothes pin or bathroom slipper, and that is the kind of vernacular association that makes the writing awkwardly relatable. During her industry experience of 7-8 years, she has also delved into research, branding and writing. She hopes to write and make her own books someday!
