Kirti V Evokes Tender Childhood Memories in Her Poignant Tribute “I Wish”

 

Writers’ Kalam Publishing is honoured to announce the soulful submission of Kirti V, an acclaimed poet and passionate educator, to the tribute anthology To My Beloved Teacher. Her piece, titled “I Wish”, is a delicate and deeply moving poetic reflection that harks back to the innocent admiration and trust a young student places in her first teacher.

With gentle lines like “I wish to be that little girl, who runs into your arms everyday at school,” Kirti invites readers into a tender memoryscape where love, learning, and longing bloom together. Her tribute is addressed to her first-grade teacher, Deena Ma’am, whose presence clearly planted the first seeds of poetic thought in the heart of a little girl.

🌼 A Teacher of Students and a Student of Life
Kirti is a teacher by profession and a poet by passion. A multilingual writer, eloquent orator, and voracious reader, she has authored three solo poetry collections—Tides of Life, From My Pen, and Poetic Pearls—and contributed to over 50 anthologies across languages and themes. Her signature blend of heartfelt simplicity and elegant wordplay has made her a beloved voice in the Indian literary landscape.

She curates her work at www.kirtisignature.com and can be reached at 📧 kirti.v@gmail.com.

In “I Wish”, Kirti V doesn't just remember a teacher—she reawakens the child within us all, reminding us of the emotional imprints left by our earliest guides. This tribute feels like a love letter folded into the pages of a childhood notebook—fragile, sacred, unforgettable.
