Description of the Book:

 

Dear reader, I welcome you to a journey through the kaleidoscope of life. This collection of poems is not a grand narrative, but rather a colourful lace of moments, crocheted together with the thread of human experience. Here, you will find verses that echo the harmony of emotions that colour our lives – the quiet hum of contentment, the exhilarating crescendo of joy, the plaintive ballad of loss, and the fierce drumbeat of anger.
Prepare to step into the sun-kissed avenues of memory. We will revisit childhood laughter echoing through old towns, the bittersweet twinge of a first love, and the comforting feel of a familiar hand held tight. But life, as we know, is not a single note held forever. These poems will also navigate the shadows – the sting of betrayal, the suffocating weight of disappointment, and the hollowness of grief. Yet, even amidst the darkness, we will search for hints of hope and the resilience of the human spirit.
This book is not a mere collection of words, but an invitation to introspection. Each verse is a mirror reflecting the emotions that we often fail to acknowledge. Perhaps you will find yourself in the quiet yearning for a simpler time, captured in these lines. Maybe you will resonate with the ache of a love lost.
But within these pages lies more than just the echo of the past. We will delve into the hustle and bustle of the present, exploring the mundane miracles that often go unnoticed, and events that shook us and made us sit up.
These poems are not meant to provide answers, but rather to ignite questions. They are prompts for reflection, invitations to delve deeper into the aquifer of your own emotions. As you journey through these verses, allow yourself to feel. Let the joy wash over you, let the tears cleanse you, and let the anger empower you. For it is by embracing our entire emotional spectrum that we truly understand what it means to be human.
This collection is not just for the solitary reader, but also for those seeking connection. Share these poems – whisper them to a loved one, recite them aloud under a starlit sky, or simply leave them lying open, an invitation to a conversation of the soul. For in the sharing of our emotions lies the power to connect, to share experiences, and to celebrate the beautiful, messy, and utterly incredible journey called life.

    About the Author: Poetry is my passion. I live and work in Chennai. The everyday inspires me the most – something I see on my commute, be it an offbeat thing or the mundane, or even a memory that pops up from the distant past. I guess I just like capturing feelings in short, clear bursts. It's a way to connect with the emotions in life, mine and hopefully, others' too.
