Bound by Scars

The "invisible chains" of caste and the ruins of forbidden love are explored viscerally in this collection. Through the shadow of Anaya (imaginary companion) and a quest for truth beyond the 9–5 grind, these poems explore whether divine justice is merely "delayed darkness," whether gratitude is a plot, and grief, delusion (Anaya), nihilism, and the silent companionship of a machine. In the end, the work progresses from heartbreak to rage to philosophical inquiry, delusion, and hope reclamation—a last promise to choose love once more amid the turbulent waves of life.
