After wowing audiences with her viral Hindi poetry series #AurSuno, Mumbai-based writer/poet Nirmika Singh brings her heartfelt poems to the stage at an intimate show, #AurSuno Shamiyana, in Mumbai on December 5th, 7pm onwards. 

A baithak-style show with floor seating and ambiance reminiscent of poetry mehfils, #AurSuno Shamiyana will feature Nirmika reciting some of her most popular poems that cover the topics of love, relationships and society. 

Says Nirmika, “I will always feel shy to admit I am a ‘poet’ – it is such a loaded word! I feel with #AurSuno, I am simply articulating some of my deepest, most intimate feelings about causes that matter to me – whether it’s a failing society, a broken relationship or my own body issues. It is perhaps because my words are bare, honest and vulnerable that people can relate to them.”
