The annual celebration of Hindi Diwas commemorates September 14, 1949, the day when the Constituent Assembly of India took the decision to make Hindi the official language of the Union government.
"My thoughts and emotions have taken the shape of nazms, ghazals, poems, and even songs in KHAYALOON KE DARMIYAAN. Love, loss, and inspiration are the primary topics of the poems. The language used is very simple and the writing style is relatable, which draws the reader to it immediately," said Rashmi. Poems in this book range from her growing-up years to very recent ones.
Rashmi is a well-known name in the performing arts circle of Dubai. She has directed several award-winning plays and acted and produced plays, festivals, and entertainment events over the last 12 years in Dubai, Doha, and India.
