Abhishek Bansal seeks comfort in Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poetry

When stumped, people often turn to inspirations or words of comfort. Abhishek Bansal turns to verse. The ABans Group chairman loves poetry, especially those by Harivansh Rai Bachchan. 'Madhushala' is an all-time favourite, Bansal says.

“Bachchan has crafted his poetry in an amazing way. Each word conveys a different meaning and relates to varying situations of life. The metaphor 'Madhushala' can be used for different goals that you would like to achieve in life.”

Taking a leaf out of Bachchan’s book, Bansal too has tried his hand at poetry. “I sometimes recite them to family and friends at social gatherings,” he said.
