About the Poet
शब्दांचा मोल अनमोल, कवितेचा सौंदर्य अविरत.
Dr. Surekha S. Bhalerao
A Voice for the Human Heart
Dr. Surekha S. Bhalerao is a compassionate poet who uses the power of the written word to awaken the "treasure of joy" within every human heart. Through her bilingual verses in Marathi and English, she captures the delicate nuances of life, from a child's innocence to the quiet wisdom of the elderly. Her poetry serves as a rhythmic bridge between scientific wellness and spiritual peace, designed to heal the soul and lighten the burdens of modern life.
By celebrating the unique journey of women, professionals, and youth, she transforms simple lines of text into a universal language of hope and healing. Ultimately, her work is a lyrical invitation to rediscover our most natural human instinct—the unshakable smile.
The Journey
Dr. Surekha S. Bhalerao’s journey began in the halls of academia, but it found its true purpose through a "call from within." Recognizing that the world was growing heavy under the "protocol of life," she transitioned from a scholar of science to a poet of the soul. Her journey is defined by the transformation of intellectual knowledge into a social mission—the SMILE Wellness Foundation. By choosing a "different path," she dedicated her life to ensuring that the brilliance of a child’s 400 daily smiles does not fade into the silence of adulthood.
Inspiration & Philosophy
Her primary inspiration is the Smile—not merely as a physical expression, but as a healing force. Inspired by the natural instincts of children and the resilience of the human spirit, she draws her themes from the everyday lives of women, the struggles of corporate professionals, and the grace of senior citizens. Her bilingual poetry in Marathi and English serves as a medium to reach millions, proving that joy is a treasure we all possess but often forget how to unlock.
