“Who says that the boundary of cities will decide your end game of dreams?”Residing from Basti Uttar Pradesh, Aryansh Arora is levelling himself as a poet among the big names of the writing industry today. Performing for the last 8 years Aryansh has been carrying his city name Basti with him wherever he goes.
Born in Bahraich and brought up in Basti Uttar Pradesh, Aryansh always faced the troubles of being a dreamer in a small city filled with old traditions and mindset. Aryansh has been writing for almost 11 years and during the Corona pandemic he has proved himself to be a decorated and prolific author with multiple recognitions in his name and. He lived in Delhi in 2023 to understand the performing culture of poetry. He came 2nd in the National level poetry slam competition. He’s been living in his city, Basti and he has been a helping hand of his father in his business, but the workload and responsibilities never stopped his dream of making his city known to the rest of the world.
After his many poetries got viral on Instagram, Aryansh Arora recently did a show named ‘Shiddat’ in Delhi. It was an almost sold out show and the thing that won hearts apart from his poetry was his attire. An off white Kurta designed by a fashion designer of Basti, Anubha Gupta (@raasbyanubha) and on his right side the name of his city “Basti” was beautifully embroidered and Shukrana on his back. Aryansh said,” It was my dream to take the name of my city with pride wherever I go. I see kids of my city telling people that they live in a village near Gorakhpur and Aayodhya just because they don’t feel confident about having Basti attached with their identity. I really want to break this stereotype by being someone worthy enough for people to search his city and maybe visit someday. The diameter of my city won’t decide the diameter of my dreams and capabilities.”
His poems and his down to earth personality are already winning hearts. You can hear him on YouTube and on Instagram – @aryannwrites_.
