Description of the Book:
“Life isn’t about finding yourself. It’s about creating yourself.” – George Bernard Shaw
This book is a compendium of poems that meticulously depict the minute nuances of everyday life—the ordinary details that often go unnoticed in seemingly tranquil situations but lurk beneath the facades with gnawing emotions and repressed sensitivity. It assiduously showcases emotional complexities, suppressed desires, social milieu, psychological vulnerability, cultural heritage, and personal trajectory.
For those who read this book, it delves into the multifarious aspects of human nature and how they shape character evolution, maturity, memories, trauma, personality and identity. This treatise is highly vocal about the challenges women face and their maltreatment in a patriarchal society, where their emotions and feelings are profoundly shunned and often labelled as ‘volatile’, ‘fragile’, ‘docile’ and ‘feeble’.
All the poems in the book deal with relatable circumstances, imbued with human endeavours, chaotic memories, ambivalent relationships, distorted personas and humdrum existence. They seek to probe into the deepest and darkest niche of one’s mind and unravel the intricate nexus of human bonds and relationships.
At its core, the book explores the metaphysical connection of human experiences – from the joy of a child’s laughter and the serenity of a sunset, to the profound sorrow of loss and the resilience forged through adversity. It calls us to navigate the complexities of our own identities while seeking to understand the purpose of growth, learning, and transformation. Life is not only about existing; it is about living every moment and taking everything in stride.
