Tradition & Freedom
The opening poems sit in the tension between what a woman is taught to want and what she quietly wants for herself.
Read Excerpt →"From the department of restrained, sensitive overthinkers." — Anuki
Anuki is a poet and author whose debut chapbook, Broken Hearts, traces a woman's journey through tradition, love, silence, and the quiet strength of reclaiming herself — twenty-seven poems, one honest voice.
Anuki is a financial analyst based in Hyderabad, India. By profession, she works with numbers — building reports, analyzing data, and turning complex figures into clear narratives. Precision and logic guide her workday, where spreadsheets behave (mostly) under her watch.
Long before spreadsheets entered her life, writing had already found her. During her school and college years, she actively participated in numerous poetry and writing competitions, drawn instinctively toward words, expressions, and storytelling. Writing was never a phase — it was a quiet constant, waiting patiently in the background.
When work hours end, numbers step aside, and words take over. Writing became her refuge — a space where emotions could exist without rules or formulas. A late bloomer to journaling her own feelings, she spent years observing life silently, storing moments rather than expressing them. When she finally began to write for herself, those stored emotions found rhythm, honesty, and release.
Her writing leans into introspection, gratitude, and emotional truth — influenced by music, personal reflection, and everyday contradictions. One of her creative inspirations is Taylor Swift, admired for transforming raw feeling into storytelling that resonates deeply.
"While numbers pay the bills, words keep her grounded."
— Anuki, on writing and lifeBROKEN HEARTS is a collection of twenty-seven poems tracing the tender and turbulent journey of a woman's life — a story shaped by societal expectations and her quiet rebellion against them. It begins in the tension between tradition and freedom, explores cracks in love and marriage, and reveals how silence can awaken strength. These poems do not dwell on brokenness — they celebrate reclaiming selfhood, courage, and independence forged within.
"If these words make even one reader feel seen or understood, this journey has been worth it."
Twenty-seven poems, unfolding in four quiet stages — from inherited expectation to reclaimed selfhood.
