Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalMy sincere gratitude to everyone who decided to take a peek into my journey. I hope you enjoy the memories that I have tried to garner in this book in the form of Poetry.
Poetry to me is a magical form of expression. One of the strongest weapons that have the power to hit the right chords of the heart of anyone wanting to find a medium for catharsis.
The poems are a reflection of the events in my life which have greatly impacted me. Ranging from poems dedicated to individual people close to my heart to some dedicated to concepts like Patriotism and Love, My First Flight is like a roller-coaster ride of emotions.
