And simultaneously, was developed The Pocket Diaries. A worldwide platform I designed especially for the budding artists, writers, poets and photographers to showcase their talents forth the world, absolutely free of cost. Now, over 10,000 views and more than 20 countries strong our team with members spread across in India, Canada, United States, Philippines and more, spread the same moto: No talent Unturned.” Further, he said, “I, irrespective of being a non-medical student, always used to believe that literature was the root of every modern day subject, while poetry and philosophy being the ultimatum.
