Episode 3 (Finale)
On this Hindi Diwas, I bring to you the closing chapter of a journey that has been more than poetry, more than memory — it has been soulwork.
today Poetry Kettle closes a circle. This episode is not a romance, not a confession — but an exploration of a bond that lived in silences, in ellipses, in spaces too wide for definitions.
Across the series, I have been attempting to write the unwritable. The first episode, “Kaise Keh Dein”, was about the impossibility of putting certain emotions into words and description of him too detailed and yet breaking apart.
The second, “Na Main Uski Na Wo Mera”, was about the fragile space between belonging and distance, about relationships that resist possession yet refuse to be forgotten. Every blessing, Every wish that goes beyond reason.
This final episode, “Aashish – when blessings choose to walk,” is about what remains after all the words — about a nameless presence who mirrored my incompleteness, who broke illusions just by existing, who taught me that not every connection is meant to reach a destination. Some arrive only to expand us, to demand honesty, to make us more ourselves.
It is a meditation on a relationship that is neither love nor friendship as we conventionally know it, but something ancient — like an unseen contract between souls, signed long before bodies, time, and definitions. He was silence, I was voice. Poles apart, And yet, for a fleeting while, our stars breathed in the same constellation.
Publishing this on Hindi Diwas is intentional — because even language surrenders before certain experiences. Even words bow to silence.
If you’ve ever met someone who altered the shape of your soul without ever truly being “yours,” if you’ve ever carried both wound and blessing in the same breath — maybe you will find yourself here too.
