“So many stars, yet to be seen
So many lights, which are yet to be felt
So many sunrises, which are yet to rise
Many days, which are yet to live
So many dreams, which are still to be seen
So many flowers, which remained would still bloom
So many nights, yet to be punished
‘How many ‘you’ you want to see while you are still here!”

‘Thus’ started writing poetry –
Spruha is originally from Mumbai. Raised in a middle class family. Typical Dadarkar. She did her schooling at Balmohan Vidyamandir School and it was there that she developed her talent for acting, writing, oratory. She has said in many interviews that all the credit goes to her school teacher Vidyatai Patwardhan. When Spruha was in second grade, she did her first children’s play called ‘Dinu’s Bill.’ The play was staged by Vidyatai Patvardhan and featured Spruha in the lead role. She also acted in the serial ‘De Dhamaal’ when she was in 6th-7th standard. But she started writing poetry when she was in ninth grade. When Spruha was in ninth grade (in 2003), Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam received Bal Shri award. It was a national level award and Vidyatai Patvardhan was nominated for the competition. On the occasion of this competition, she wrote her first poem in her life. The title of that poem was ‘Durdasha Amchi’. At that time she realized that we can also write poems.
Guidance from veterans –
There comes a time in everyone’s life when everyone starts writing poetry and we think that our poetry is the best poetry in the world. Such a time also came in her life when she was in college. She wrote a lot of poems during those days. At that time, she got proper guidance from some famous poets along with her family. At that stage she met some people who told her, “Now stop writing for a while and start reading. If you like poetry, read a lot of poetry books.” It was her parents who told her this, some were teachers, some were Shankar Vaidya, Dr. There were legendary poets like Aruna Dhere. All of them told her “Stop writing now, it’s time to read.” After listening to him, she read a lot of books during that time. She found different words and expressions from it. Poems in Balbharati’s books which she did not like very much or which were limited to contextual explanations for her in school, became popular and the Marathi paper became the most favorite paper in the exam. This allowed her to better articulate her thoughts.

Spruha was under a lot of pressure as she was meeting him for the first time. What will they say to you? Will they like your poems? There were many such questions in Spruha’s mind at that time.
