For Keshi Gupta, words have always been a way of making sense of the world. Growing up in New Delhi, she found her earliest inspiration close to home—her mother, a teacher, whose influence sparked Keshi’s fascination with learning and the written word. By the time she was fourteen, she had already begun giving shape to her thoughts through poetry, a practice that would become the thread running through her life.

Over the years, her free-verse style has found its own rhythm — flowing gently, like a river that doesn’t force its way but simply finds its path. Readers often notice traces of Sufism in her writing, along with a sensitivity that blooms like a flower in unexpected places. Whether she is sharing her poetry, writing for newsletters, or posting on social media, her words carry honesty and heart, which is perhaps why they resonate so widely.

Keshi is also a social activist with a strong interest in human psychology. She has pursued certifications in general, child, and clinical psychology, and has completed programs on mental health issues, including one with the World Health Organization. This understanding of the human mind and its struggles often seeps into her work, making her writing not just lyrical but also compassionate and deeply aware of the world around her.
