Description

Main Bahar Pe Likhna Chahati Huun

Somewhere between the words we never spoke, the memories we never shared, and the emotions we kept hidden, a story quietly begins to take shape.
Main Bahar Pe Likhna Chahati Huun is an intimate literary journey into the world of emotions, memories, relationships and self-discovery. Written by Rasika Agashe, this collection brings together the thoughts and feelings that often remain unexpressed, finding their way onto paper through poetry and personal reflection.
The title itself carries a beautiful contradiction. Bahaar, or spring, represents renewal, beauty, freshness and the promise of new beginnings. Yet the image of a withered flower on the cover suggests the passage of time, the fragility of life and the memories that remain long after a moment has passed. Together, they create a compelling metaphor for the human experience: the desire to write about beauty even when life has exposed us to its imperfections.
For Rasika Agashe, writing began in childhood. She filled her diaries with thoughts and observations, but her words remained largely private. Although she was actively involved in theatre and performance, sharing her poetry and personal writing with others was an entirely different experience. There was a certain hesitation, a reluctance to expose a deeply personal side of herself.
Her introductory note offers an honest account of this relationship with writing. She describes how she continued to write without necessarily considering herself a poet or seeking an audience. Her writing was instinctive, personal and, for a long time, meant only for herself.
The years that followed brought experiences, relationships, emotional upheavals and moments of introspection. Gradually, the distance between her private thoughts and the outside world began to disappear. The pages of her diary became a space where she could revisit the past, confront her feelings and understand the experiences that had shaped her.
This collection is an expression of that transformation.
The book explores the delicate relationship between vulnerability and strength, silence and expression, loss and acceptance. It reminds us that not every emotion needs an explanation, not every memory needs to be forgotten, and not every experience has to be beautiful to become meaningful.
There is an honesty in writing that does not attempt to impress or conform. Instead, it allows the writer to be vulnerable, imperfect and completely human. That honesty forms the emotional foundation of this collection.
Whether you are someone who finds comfort in poetry, someone who has maintained diaries filled with unspoken thoughts, or someone who simply enjoys literature that speaks to the quieter corners of the human heart, this book offers an opportunity to connect with emotions that are universally familiar.
Main Bahar Pe Likhna Chahti Huun is not merely about writing poetry; it is about finding the courage to give one’s innermost feelings a voice. It is about remembering, accepting, letting go and continuing to hope for another spring.

About the Author – Rasika Agashe

Rasika Agashe is an accomplished Indian actor, theatre director, writer and performing artist whose creative journey spans theatre, cinema and television. A graduate of the prestigious National School of Drama (NSD), New Delhi, she has spent nearly two decades exploring the possibilities of performance, storytelling and socially relevant theatre.
Her artistic journey began at an early age, with a deep interest in acting and performance. Over the years, she developed a strong association with theatre, eventually making it the centre of her creative practice. Her work reflects an interest in human relationships, social realities, cultural identities and the complexities of the world around us.
She is the founder of Being Association, a theatre group established in 2013, through which she has worked towards creating meaningful and experimental theatrical productions. Her approach to theatre goes beyond entertainment, focusing on stories that encourage audiences to question, reflect and engage with important social issues.
As a director, Rasika has been associated with several notable productions, including:

• Museum of Species in Danger – A theatrical exploration of women’s issues and social realities.
• Raat Na Aaye – A Hindi adaptation of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into the Night.
• Harus Marus – A socially observant and satirical theatrical production.
• Radhey – A play inspired by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar’s Rashmirathi, exploring the final days of Karna.

She has also contributed to Hindi and Marathi cinema, with performances in films such as Ajji, I Te 4 Banda, Bhalla At Halla Dot Com and Mere Pyaare Prime Minister. Her work across different mediums demonstrates her versatility as a performer and storyteller.

One of her significant contributions to the theatre community has been her involvement in Sanhita Manch, an initiative that provides emerging playwrights with opportunities to present original scripts and bring new stories to the stage. Through this platform, she has encouraged contemporary writing in Hindi, Marathi and other languages, helping create space for fresh voices in Indian theatre.

Rasika’s creative identity, however, extends beyond the stage and screen. With Main Bahar Pe Likhna Chahti Huun, she opens a more personal window into her artistic world. While audiences have experienced her through the characters she portrays and the stories she brings to life, this book offers an opportunity to encounter her thoughts, memories and emotions in her own words.
For an artist who has spent years giving life to other people’s stories, this collection represents a personal journey of discovering the courage to share her own.
