Ritika Mody: A Voice Carved from Silence

In a time when attention is fleeting, Ritika Mody stands out as a voice that slows the world down. Known on stage as Unabashed Rumani, she is celebrated as a Hindustani Poet who turns everyday moments into timeless verse.

Ritika’s poetic philosophy is rooted in one belief –  that ordinary life is sacred. In a widely read conversation, she shared, “Poetry is everywhere… my role is to pick up these fragments, these whispers of life, and amplify them into something tangible.” Her work often draws from quiet, uncelebrated emotions: a shared glance, a half-finished thought, the hush between two heartbeats.

Her identity as a mother is deeply woven into her creative journey. She often says her daughter has been her biggest cheerleader –  proof that motherhood and art can coexist, even fuel each other. Beginning her poetry career around the age of 40, Ritika calls it a “transformative chapter,” reclaiming dreams that had once been paused.

One of her verses captures this duality beautifully:

“Mere andar basti hai shaksiyat do,

Ek kavi… ek Mā rehti hai …

Dono hi mujhe Mā kehti hai.”

Ritika has performed on more than 100 stages, created immersive shows like Rumani Ishq and Awaken Words, and been honored with the Super Womaniya Award for Excellence in Literary Arts by Fever FM and Hindustan Times.

Her performances aren’t just recitations –  they are shared experiences. Ritika Mody doesn’t simply speak poetry; she invites the world to feel it. And in those moments, silence finally has a voice.
