Nidhi Parikh, an avid reader by nature and a copywriter by profession. More than that, she is a rider on the journey of becoming a passionate writer and a poet. Since adulthood, novels, poems and stories by famous as well as rookie authors and poets influenced her to give numerous vague thoughts a voice through words and to give them a permanent address with the help of paper and ink. Her interest in writing started taking a shape when she was pursuing her graduation in Electronic Media. There she got a platform to express her views and thoughts in the form of punch lines, jingles, and short stories. By the end of her post-graduation in the same stream, her interest grown-up, and thus to follow the path of her interest, she later perused Advance Diploma in Creative Writing. Now with each passing day she is relentlessly moving towards the destination chosen by her. So far many of her short stories and lyrical poems have been published in different anthologies and magazines.

Here we get to know her closely:
Nainika: Poetry or Prose, which one do you find more difficult to write?
Nidhi: Both Poetry and Prose are different forms of writing. Poetry is the evocation of feelings or expressing most emotional moment in rhythmic, artistic manner using fancy yet limited words whereas prose is elaborated way of describing an incident or, a scene or, an emotional moment using simple and modest language. Ultimately, it’s all about how beautifully and effectively one can play with words.
Nainika: And which among both reaches close to readers’ heart more?
Nidhi: Though the poetry is succinct way of expressing thoughts, but it’s depth of emotions that has a profound effect on reader’s heart.
Nainika: What is the best part of a poem?
Nidhi: The best part of a poem is the truest emotions hidden in each word.
Nainika: Throw some light on your poem, “Let My Hear beat”, in Skipped Heartbeats.
Nidhi: “Let My Heart Beat” poem divulges one of the most common emotions of one’s life – “Distance” or “Separation”. It’s about how does one feels when his or her partner is far away or leave him/her alone in the journey of life.
Nainika: Throw some light on your poem, “Paint Me”, in Moonlit Matine-4.
Nidhi: “Paint Me” poem says that before it gets too late one should confess and express his/her feeling to loved ones.
Nainika: Both these books are compilation of love tales and poems, is it the genre you feel most comfortable with?
Nidhi: Certainly, the genre suits me the most.
Nainika: Which amongst the two is closest to your heart or you feel more relatable to your life?
Nidhi: It is always difficult for a writer to pick/choose. Both “Paint Me” and “Let My Heart Beat” are close to my heart and somewhere is connected to my life.
Nainika: What according to you should be in a poem that makes it the best one?
Nidhi: According to me, it’s the choice and flow of words used in conveying emotions.
Nainika: How is this anthology different one from the pool of anthologies in market?
Nidhi: What makes this anthology different for me is my association with Gargi Publishers.
Nainika: If you had to give one title to this based on your poems, other than Skipped Heartbeats, what it would be?
Nidhi: Hidden Colors of Love
Nainika: Nidhi, my last question would be a task actually, I’m giving you five words, you have to give a message in form of poetry to our readers using those words, so your five words are, “unerringly, trust, anticipation, ideal and veracity”.
Nidhi:
Her hazy mind,
Antsy, tire, and dire,
Unerringly anticipates for
Veracity of vision
To find some land of trust
In his parched and barren heart
Where she can sow seeds
Of an ideal relationship.
