"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh Pal
A collection of poems by a person who prefers to speak less, write more. The Churchillian black dog has bitten and scratched him for years and hence, most of the poems in this collection are not uplifting, some might be downright depressing. Poems are anyways not written by happy people, by successful lovers or people who had a happy childhood. So by nature, they are supposed to be gloomy. These poems have been written over 10+ years, re-written and re-hashed numerous times to make the poet not feel embarrassed by his own writing. However, the themes and the hues have remained intact over the constant re-iterations. The poems are in no particular order, by theme, chronology or maturity. The author is simply looking to see if readers feel the inclination to finish the book once they have started.
