Welcome to
My personal blog 'Kilikoodu' (IPA: /kiɭikuːɖɯ/) borrows its name from the Malayalam word for a bird's nest. Literally, it signifies a safe haven, a space meticulously crafted for creation and nurturing. Just as a bird's nest cradles fragile eggs and young, this blog aims to be a sanctuary for my artistic expressions—poetry, essays, posters, stories and other projects. It's a place where ideas hatch and grow, a personal refuge for creativity.
Explore some works by me, Guri!
In the real world, I go by Anugrah.
I made this blog to have an online collection of some of my works. Feel free to read through.
Some Amorphist
This "Free Ghazal" is a poetic experiment blending elements of the Ghazal with interactive, game-like storytelling, inspired by Kafka’s Metamorphosis. Presented as both text and Python code, the poem allows readers to navigate themes of work culture, identity, and self-destruction, offering multiple endings and hidden references for a more immersive experience.
About Guri
I started writing under this name at the age of 19. Studying English Literature and creative writing opened up a space previously closed off by misconceptions. I really love reading and writing poetry, mostly the experimental kind. My favourite practice is to read a piece not knowing who wrote it and leaving the text that way! Even when I write, I try to inhabit a space not my own. I hallucinate a world for me to create and present the text you see.
About Anugrah

His extensive involvement in leading arts events from a young age has equipped him with valuable skills in education, facilitation, and leadership, which he aims to apply during Arts Week. Anugrah is also creative in his expression, composing music, writing poetry and stories, and using visual aids like doodles and mind maps to communicate ideas. He looks forward to gaining further insights into arts facilitation from professionals in the field and enhancing his own capabilities through collaborative learning and teaching.
