Meanwhile, the Poet, while sharing details of her poetry collection titled 'Hiraeth', said that 'Hireath' means an unsatiated and deep longing for something. Each and every poem in the book justifies the title and has a very deep meaning which will be understood by reading the poems. The book, published by Abhishek Publication, has 61 poems that are epiphanies, or unusual experiences the poet had at different stages of her life. Each poem has an illustration created by Anubhav Som, who has also designed the cover of the book.
Poet Sudha Dipak is originally from Delhi and is a homemaker. She is trained in yoga and music. Sudha while interacting with the media said, thay many years back, her close friend, Meenaxi Verma motivated her to give words to her thoughts. However, she slipped into a comfort zone and the resultant procrastination delayed her sitting and penning the poems. She is happy that the chance of writing reviews of two books authored by Dr Vimal Kalia gave her the desired push to write her poems. She then put together her collection. The simplicity of her poems was appreciated by Nisha Luthra who took it upon herself to get them published. She picked up 8 pieces of poetry and weaved the characters, story sketch and screenplay based on the core emotion and the title of the book – 'Hiraeth', which means deep longing for someone's home.
Nisha Luthra said that during her personal interactions with Sudha, she was immensely touched by her poems. The essence of her poetic collection left a deep impact on her mind and she decided to get them published and further carved a story - 'The Sehgal House' - around some select poems. 'The Sehgal House' is a story that revolves around human emotions interwoven with basic human relationships. The film walks around various emotional passages along with the characters of the family. With each recital, many layers of the family bond are at disposal for the audience to absorb and leave a trail of emotions and hope for the next chapter.
Sudha Deepak added that it is an honour for her that her poems have been selected to create a story by Nisha. In what is certainly a first, Nisha used the poems as a base to write a screenplay, which went into a proper shoot with character artists and post-production. Most poems are about different realizations at the different stages of our life in different situations. Some are motivational because basically, she is a motivational writer, some show an incessant struggle between heart and mind. It took one year to put together the collection because she is a slow writer and she write only when something from inside pushes her The poem 'Tears' is closest to my heart.
Nisha informed that Divya Sharma, Divjot Gulati, Anuraag Verma, Mugdha Arora, Shivani Kashyap, Surjeet Singh, and Puneet have acted in the film, which is edited by Krishna Rodge. SS Sidhu, Anuj Birwan, Rajan K Bathejaa, and Neena Bhatnagar are the Director of Photography (DOP), Assistant Cinematographer, Assistant Director, and Makeup Artist respectively. The music of the film is done by Gagneet Singh and Hitesh Giri. The Narrators have always used the medium of storytelling in its most varied and significant ways. Like its two other films -'Brinda' and 'Outside the Safehouse', this film will also be travelling to National and International film festivals. Come July 15 and art aficionados will have something to look forward to with the special screening of the film which will be followed by a special launch of the poetry book.
