Our Contributors
Inaugural Issue : Balance and Form
We consider it a distinct privilege to have been joined by contributors whose work has fundamentally shaped the inaugural issue of
अन्वय ANVAYA, Balance and Form. Each contribution reflects a profound seriousness of attention and a patient willingness to engage with form, devoid of haste or excess.
What emerges across these pages is not merely a collection of isolated pieces, but a shared commitment to balance as a disciplined, lived practice—one that embraces tension without forcing premature resolution, allowing thought, experience, and language to settle into their authentic measure.
The presence of such caliber of writing at the very inception of
अन्वय ANVAYA has irrevocably defined the magazine’s tone, depth, and integrity. We remain deeply conscious of the profound fortune of having received this work, and the care, trust, and intellectual generosity that have made this initial articulation possible.

रस Rasa section
Manzar, born in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, writes from a landscape shaped by quiet unease rather than singular events. Poetry emerged for him not as a literary pursuit, but as a necessity — a way to hold what could not be spoken, and to give form to emotions that resisted order.
Chosen as a takhallus, Manzar is not a mask but a mirror. His verses draw from lived experience, translating inner turbulence into restrained, resonant language. This work does not seek resolution or consolation; it records an inward journey sustained through words. If these poems find recognition beyond the self, the act of writing has fulfilled its purpose.
