Dear readers,
I’m pleased to share with all of you today, some feedback I’ve received from the wonderful Er. Swaraj Jain, BE, FIE, FIV.
My grandfather had sent my book, Incandescence, to his classmate, Er. Jain, who has so generously written the following:

Dear [Anvi],
My honest and sincere comments are detailed under :

Incandescence by young Anvi Tuteja transports you on a journey of self discovery. Poetry is a distillation of one’s self into words. It’s a wonder to learn that Anvi at such a young age has nurtured such deep thoughts and philosophy, echoing rebellious at times.
Some of the poems like Playing with fire, Black and white etc. transform the reader into a transcendental world.

I dived deep into my inner self on reading the poem “Love Thyself ….” and really fell in love with myself.
Poetry lovers can’t afford to miss Incandescence by budding Anvi Tuteja. God bless the young buddy!!

Meeting Trevor Noah!

Dear readers,
I’m elated to share with you all that I recently had the privilege of meeting the world-renowned South African comedian and talk show host, the one and only, Mr. Trevor Noah!

I was able to share with him a poem I wrote, titled ‘The Man With The Mission.’ It is about Trevor Noah himself and his inspiring life experiences. I’m pleased to present the poem to you here:

Growing up in South Africa, raised by his grandmother’s stories,
About how, back in my day, we had much greater worries,
Learning to get through apartheid alive, while wading through stereotypes and a controlling regime,
Product of a crime worse than treason, a police state, the perfect racism ’twas deemed,

Everything from missiles in Ukraine, to dresses and Kim K,
To family laws, democratic institutions and Trump saying Namaste,
He’s taught me more about South African politics than I know of my own country,
But now, I’ve got very strong views about Jacob Zuma’s policies,

More than a comedian, more than an activist, he’s the global phenomenon,
The man with the mission, to make the world laugh, he’s called Trevor Noah!
