Poet Rejects Traditions for Authentic Vows
6 Dec
Summary
- Poet emphasizes art's value lies in human flaws and emotions.
- She reimagined her wedding ceremony to reflect equality and sustainability.
- Nayab Midha finds inspiration for her authentic poetry in Kolkata.

Nayab Midha, a spoken word artiste, recently shared her insights in Kolkata, a city she finds inspiring for its intellectual and cultural atmosphere. She champions poetry that embraces human imperfections, asserting that genuine art stems from emotions, contradictions, and lived experiences, qualities AI cannot replicate.
Transitioning from engineering to artistry, Midha views the stage as her primary learning ground. Her creative journey involves keen observation and personal growth, transforming her early resistance against societal constraints into a space for introspection and vulnerability on stage.
Midha also applied her principles of authenticity and equality to her personal life, crafting a sustainable wedding ceremony. She consciously opted out of rituals like 'kanyadaan,' emphasizing mutual respect and equality, and worked with a female pandit to reimagine tradition.
