Bengaluru Poetry Festival explores beauty of verse
Poets, lyricists, filmmakers, musicians, and literateurs of all kinds came together to celebrate the beauty of verse at the Bengaluru Poetry Festival (BPF) at Indiranagar Sangeetha Sabha across two days. The 9th edition drew an impressive crowd that attended panels on writing poetry, lyrics and more, alongside a Children's Poetry Festival. The event also celebrated poetry in the form of lyrics through performances and conversations featuring singer-songwriters like Ramya Nambessan, Bruce Lee Mani, among others. Singer Justh, who rose to fame with the viral single Chor, performed the song alongside his latest, Unse Jaake Kehdo, that had the audience, teeming with youngsters, clapping and singing along. 'Every place has a different texture – the expectations of a performance at a college or a concert are very different. People are here to appreciate poetry and the written word, which hold great importance for me,' he shared. The year's festival saw five international poets in attendance, some of whom were in conversation with poet Jeet Thayil at the 'You Are the World' session. 'The highlight were the poets from Singapore, the US and UAE, who shared superb poetry and talked about their poetics and visions,' said Bengaluru poet Mani Rao. Alongside these were panels on poetry in Kannada and other regional languages, giving the festival a local flavour. 'A festival like this helps people become more aware of the poetry swirling in their midst,' added Rao. Attending the festival for the first time, 22-year-old Varshith Vattikutti, an aspiring filmmaker, explains what draws creative youngsters to the festival, saying, 'Getting perspectives from people who have been writing lyrics and screenplays in the industry for so long has been very insightful. I enjoy hearing them talk about everything, from mundane things to how they approach their writing.' Avani Singh, a college student, adds, 'Even just to see that there are people in the field who are making a living out of being creative – as writers, musicians, and filmmakers – was so important to me.'

Justh returns with soul-stirring new track ‘Unse Jaake Kehdo'
Singer-songwriter Justh, best known for his viral sensation Chor, has made a compelling comeback with his latest single Unse Jaake Kehdo. Released on Tuesday, the track is a poignant ballad that explores themes of love, pain, letting go, and redemption, blending emotional vulnerability with a gentle, acoustic-driven melody. Known for his minimalist and heartfelt songwriting, Justh has once again tapped into deep emotional reservoirs. The song, wrapped in simple yet profound lyrics, tells a relatable story of heartbreak and healing, resonating across listeners of all ages and backgrounds. Speaking about the release, Justh shared, 'It's been over a year and a half since 'Chor' was released. After that song connected with so many people, I felt the need to go even deeper within myself. 'Unse Jaake Kehdo' is the result of that journey—music that feels true, authentic, and pure.' He added, 'This song holds a piece of my soul. I've worked hard and collaborated with some incredibly talented individuals for both the audio and video. I'm excited and nervous to share it with the world.' The song is produced by Aditya Verma and mixed by Vaibhav Ahuja and Justh himself, reflecting his hands-on approach and artistic sincerity. Known for turning away from industry gloss in favor of stripped-down, emotional storytelling, Justh's authenticity continues to set him apart in India's independent music scene. A former Chartered Accountant who left a stable MNC job to pursue music, Justh has steadily built a niche as one of India's most honest and emotionally resonant voices. Unse Jaake Kehdo marks a mature evolution of his sound and storytelling, reaffirming his place as a powerful force in India's growing singer-songwriter movement.
