Happy Birthday, Reetika! May your day be filled with poetic inspiration and fewer white elephants—unless they're bringing cake. Your words have danced gracefully through pages, earning you the Barnard Women Poets Prize; clearly, even poetry competitions know brilliance when they see it!From "White Elephants" to "World Hotel," you've taken readers on journeys that linger long after the final stanza. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as your verses bring insight—and may all future metaphors behave themselves (or at least rhyme occasionally). Cheers to another year of teaching minds and touching hearts with timeless creativity!
