World Book & Copyright Day📚
Today, on World Book and Copyright Day (celebrated every year on 23rd April), we celebrate not just books… but the power of ideas, emotions, and creativity.
This day reminds us how important it is to read, write, and also protect what we create. Because every thought, every poem, every piece of writing… is a part of our soul.
I wasn't aware of this day until last year. But yes, I always knew the value of copyrights.
And maybe that understanding came from experience…
There was a time when I found some of my poems… my emotions… my words…copied by others. Ha ...literally...it happened with me... :(
And to my biggest surprise, two of my poems were even published in a book by an unknown author.
I had no idea where they got it from…
Aur pata nahi kitne aur creations bhi kahin use ho gaye honge…
That day, I realized something very important that the mistake was mine. As a writer, I failed to protect my own art.
(Where the loophole was… I will surely share someday ❤️)
But that realization changed everything…
I decided to take a step forward ....to convert my poems into something permanent… something protected…
And then, life gave me an opportunity ...& I became a published author.
In December 2024, my first solo Hindi poetry book “भावसृजन” was published…and today, every word in it is protected and copyrighted.
(And yes… 100+ poems are still waiting for their turn 😊)
So today, on this special day, I just want to say :
***Please protect your ideas.
*** Protect your emotions.
*** Protect your art.
Because your creation deserves respect… and security.
And don’t just hide your work…
Publish it. Share it. Let the world feel your words without fear.
