Welcome to Cascading Words

Through my words, I visit my soul,
Unravelling stories that find refuge,
In the meanders of a poetic heart,
Leaving imprints with impassioned art…

Anwesha Bhattacharya

I am Anwesha Bhattacharya, a storyteller, blogger, and poet who loves to weave the extraordinary out of the mundane. My writing seeks to resonate deeply with readers, drawing characters and narratives from lived experiences, memories, and quiet observations of everyday life.

Born and raised in New Delhi, my early years nurtured a keen love for learning and a scrupulous way of observing the world. Though I was inclined toward science, literature gave my imagination its first wings. After marriage, I moved to Mumbai, where many of my works have been published across esteemed platforms and anthologies.

My debut poetry collection, A Lyrical Trail and Other Poems, was recently launched by Novoquill Publications.

Whispers of the Clouds

Clouds stretching in the endless realm of the sky, Have once more enshrouded my humble abode, Darkening my world with kohl-rimmed corners, Urging to lose myself on memory’s road…   Whose shadow is it that enamours the cerulean blue? While my small dwelling...
