FROM A COLLEGE NOTEBOOK, INTO THE WORLD

I am free
to dream.

ମୋତେ ସପ୍ନ ଦେଖିବାକୁ ମନା ନାହିଁ

Creativity has always been part of my life—in the organisations I shape, the software I build, the poems I write, and the spaces I create. This Odia poem from my college years is now finding its melody, and new voices across languages.

A potter shaping a clay vessel that opens into a moonlit mountain landscape
Shaping a little world. Leaving room for a dream.

WHERE THE DREAM BEGAN

The canvas changes.
The dream stays.

I’ve always nurtured creativity in whatever I do. Shaping an organisation, building software, writing a poem or creating a space all come from the same impulse: to give an idea a form that people can experience.

A space can speak its own language. I’ve tried to make my office a place that makes people happy. Poetry reaches people in another way, carrying feelings that can bring us closer.

This poem began in Odia during my college years, before 1993. I later shared my writing on Ahimanikya Kabita Prusta. With help from AI, the poem has found a new form in music and video. This page invites you to bring your language, your voice and your care to it—so the feeling can travel further.

THIS IS AN INVITATION

A language is a living culture.

Bring the language you call home. Offer a phrase that feels more natural, share a listening note, or sing the poem in your own way. We’ll shape each version together, with care and credit for every contribution.

The Witness

A face turned toward light, holding the silence of time.
