A young musician is reviving the glory of poetry through contemporary music,

Poetry has been an intrinsic part of music and there is no denying that the words of poet-cum-musicians Amir Khusrow, Kabir, Rabindranath Tagore and Mirza Galib have inspired many generations of musicians in India. Though modern age trend has changed, there are still a few musicians who are trying to bring back the lost era of meaningful and heart touching lyrics.
Chinmayi Tripathi, a Delhi based young singer-songwriter has taken up a unique initiative to bring back the most precious poems of Hindi Literature and turn them into soulful songs.
Her initiative under ‘Music & Poetry project’ has been released in late October by Songdew.com. The album is a work of 10 select poems from legendary poets of the modern era, such as Ramdhari Singh Dinkar, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, Nirala, Mahadevi Verma, Anamika, Dharmaveer Bharti, Shivmangal Singh Suman, Bhavaniprasad Mishra and Maithilisharan Gupt beautifully woven together in an eclectic fusion of classical, folk and contemporary music.

Actor Janhvi Kapoor instantly agreed to feature in Zoya Akhtar’s short in the horror anthology Ghost Stories for two reasons: to understand how the filmmaker creates her characters and because she finds herself drawn to “slightly tragic characters”. Zoya’s short features the Dhadak star as a home nurse tasked with taking care of an elderly woman, played by veteran actor Surekha Sikri. Janhvi says the project gave her the opportunity to understand the world Zoya creates, which is quite unlike others. “The way Zoya sees her characters and writes them, they are grounded in reality. They are detailed and never one dimensional, she layers them in a way I don’t think many filmmakers have cracked. “I wanted to be a part of this world and get to know how these characters are made.
