In a time when fast-paced content and fleeting trends dominate our screens, poet Tanay Saxena has quietly crafted something enduring—a collection of poems that resonate not just with words, but with the heart. His debut Hindi poetry book, “गुफ़्तगू उस रात से”, is a soulful celebration of love, longing, and the quiet strength of emotion. And now, with the prestigious 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award under his belt, Tanay’s voice is being recognized on a global scale.
A former radio jockey, Tanay spent years connecting with audiences through airwaves, crafting narratives that made people laugh, feel, and think. Later, he brought his storytelling talents to the world of political consultancy, designing powerful campaigns. But poetry was always his calling. With “गुफ़्तगू उस रात से,” he returns not just to words, but to meaningful expression—raw, relatable, and deeply intimate.
The poems in the collection read like emotional snapshots—each one echoing a sentiment that feels personal, yet universally familiar. Be it the ache of a memory, the weight of unsaid words, or the warmth of a fleeting connection, Tanay captures it all in simple yet stirring Hindi verses. His writing style feels like a quiet conversation with your inner self—gentle, nostalgic, and profoundly real.
Receiving the 21st Century Emily Dickinson Award for this debut work is a landmark achievement—not only for Tanay but for Hindi literature as a whole. This rare international honor, named after one of the most influential poets in history, is a recognition of poetry that transcends borders and language. For a Hindi book to be celebrated on such a platform speaks volumes about the power of regional voices in global conversations.
What makes Tanay’s journey especially inspiring is how he has harnessed the tools of the digital era without compromising authenticity. Backed by his in-house team at Political Consultancy, Tanay has successfully taken the self-publishing route—leveraging Instagram reels, viral poetry snippets, and community-driven content to turn his book into a literary movement. His approach proves that heartfelt poetry can still find its space in a hyper-digital world, especially when shared with honesty and creativity.
In “गुफ़्तगू उस रात से,” readers find more than poems—they find pieces of themselves. It’s a book for anyone who has ever paused in the middle of the night to think about what could have been, who longs for deeper conversations, or who finds solace in the rhythm of carefully chosen words.
Tanay Saxena’s work is a reminder that even in our fast-scrolling lives, poetry still matters—and sometimes, it takes just one verse to bring you back to yourself.
