Baban Chahal

Baban Chahal is a poet and writer whose work explores love, longing, silence, memory, and the emotions that often remain unspoken. Born in Punjab, India, Baban began writing from a desire to put feelings into words, especially the ones that are difficult to say aloud. His writing often finds beauty in ordinary moments and turns personal emotions into something readers can recognise as their own. He is the author of Almost, But Never Mine, a poetry collection about unrequited love, and I Still Blame Spring, a collection of poetry and prose that explores the many quiet stages of falling for someone, loving them from a distance, and living with the memories they leave behind. For Baban, writing is less about having all the answers and more about giving a voice to the feelings we usually keep to ourselves.
