"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
This book is a collection of poems that were written while navigating adult life in a foreign country.
It is about a journey from the homeland to a land of dreams and promises, hopes and happiness. About finding out whether dreams taste as good as they look. About reconciliations with yourself and your heart. And about letting go.
If you’re still searching for home, or missing the home you’ve left behind; if you’re struggling with your demons or with the world outside, you just might find a companion in these words.
Sushruti
Sushruti was a corporate lawyer with an international law firm in London before she quit to relocate to India last year, with many plan Bs and Cs, and in search of plan A. When in doubt, she has always turned to poetry. She’s a part of Delhi’s Poets’ Collective and can often be found performing at events like the Women Writers’ Festival and Feminist Poetry Festival. She is trained in poetry therapy and facilitates workshops incorporating art in education as well. As far back as she can remember, she has been writing and performing on platforms as diverse as dance festivals and All India Radio. She also has to her credit the National Bal Shree Honor for creative writing.
When not moonlighting as a poet or doing what lawyers do, Sushruti can be found drinking chai by her window ledge or learning a new dance form, depending on how lazy the day feels. She’s addicted to hope and swears by the inherent goodness of humankind. New people and conversations excite her and you can find her online @sushrutiwrites on Instagram.
