NEW DELHI: A cross-border poetry project has Indians and Pakistanis writing three-line poems together to mark 70 years of the Independence. "We curate topics on the platform which serve as writing prompts. For the India-Pakistan group or 'circle' as it is called on the app, we have curated topics around Independence and freedom," says Karwa.Some of the poems that have come in so far address the differences and similarities between the two countries, and even the British Raj. "Whether it is Manto 's stories/or Naidu 's poetry/ink flowed the same way," reads one. "United we stand/Divided we fall/ Alone we crawl," reads another.Karwa says that at the end of the exercise, he is looking to publish the collection as an ebook or at least a post on blogging platform Medium.
