Favourite poem/rap: Mera bachpan mujhse cheena gaya hai and Sach, both by Saniya

My favourite poem is Mera bachpan mujhse cheena gaya hai [My childhood has been stolen from me] which I wrote about and for the children who were forced into child labour and those who were married off at a young age. I saw many such instances around me. So, this poem is very close to my heart. Another one is Sach [truth], which is also my first rap video. When we grow up, we get to see the world beyond our textbooks. And often, what we read in our textbooks and what we see in reality, are completely different. So, I wrote about those things in Sach. I wrote both when I was 15.
