Life is nothing but a collection of moments. Every moment lived fully has a possibility to become immortal. A poet is the seeker of such moments. A poet is the constant seeker of truth also. He would be rebellious by nature. So, it is very obvious that a true poet would be impatient.
An adolescent is naturally curious and all of you will agree with me that he is a constant thinker of the philosophy of life as well as of death. So, this is the right age to start writing if someone is willing to convey his emotions.
This book (written by an adolescent poet) is not an exception in this regard. The poet is 17 years old, and had started writing at the age of 13.
Going through this book is a rare opportunity to go deep in and witness the raw, pure and original talent from the villages of India due to learning a foreign language and a different culture associated with the language.
This book also offers us a chance to look at the result of an encounter of an adolescent's heart with the world.
Let us be ready to take part in a journey – a journey of thoughts and emotions. This is a journey of ideas and reflections. This journey has every possibility to touch and play the strings of your heart.
This collection of poems is dedicated to its every would-be reader with a hope that they would have filled in their insight with more questions and doubts about everything in life than they already had before starting this book.
Shubham Kumar Panda
Shubham Kumar Panda, aged 17, is a student of English Literature. Since his early childhood, he has dreamt of writing books that readers would fall in love with. He started writing at the tender age of 13 and, in a span of four years, he has written enough to get published his first-ever book. Mr. Panda is a keen observer of Mother Nature and his philosophical approach towards it just spellbinds the reader.
Many among us are daydreamers. But to follow your dreams, it requires courage. Leaving science subject after 10+2 and choosing literature for higher studies against the wish of his parents is a decision that shows the writer's commitment towards his dreams. This shows his courage also.
Mr. Panda is fully bindaas in choosing his subjects. His adolescent mind just roams here and there. So, he is unpredictable in most of the places. Even if he chooses a traditional subject, he opts to give it his own touch. His writings just confirm this statement that it is not the subject, but it is your treatment of the subject that matters most.
Your choice of words depicts your personality. Mr. Panda is very courageous in choice of words also. Like a painter, who is very particular about his strokes, this young writer never gets afraid of using heavyweight words and putting them perfectly.
This book is a sincere attempt by the writer to make you feel the beat of his heart and to make you understand his own perspective to see the inside and outside world.
Definitely, this book is a beginning. But beginning shows the day. Many more are yet to follow in the days to come. Hopefully, the readers of this book will appreciate his genuine effort in bringing out his emotions by a young writer.
