Mishti Doi has pictures, stories or pieces from her life that stream into a particular selection of words in every poem. They are strongly based on the themes of hope, the meaning of life and the deepest desires to live the life at the moment. The poet relentlessly pursuits her thoughts, and believes that the best language for expressing her thoughts is Freedom. For her, each poem is an impulsive reaction, which helps her fetch the best of all words in her world.
