‘The Way that We Are’, is Priyam Acharya’s second collection of free verses. Developed and written almost entirely during the year of the pandemic, every work in the compilation offers a perspective into the vulnerable side of human beings – making us the way that we, are by touching upon themes like urban loneliness, complicated relationships, spiritual questions, struggles with self-care and mental wellness. My New Home and Elements speak of loneliness and intense longing for someone you love, while A Whirlpool in my Sparkling Coffee and Affogato offer a playful conversation between two lovers as they revel in new-found love. Box of Memories explores the pain of a dead relationship while The Perfect God among others makes you ponder over the relationship between man and God.
Priyam Acharya
A lawyer by qualification, artist and writer by passion, Priyam describes herself as dreamy yet determined. After having spent seven years in legal practice, she finally decided to take the leap of faith and began her journey of pursuing her dreams that led her to art and writing.
Priyam loves to read, travel and experience diverse cultures and the history behind the places she visits – exploring every country falling on the ancient Silk Route is one of her craziest travel fantasies. Working on this compilation has been a highly therapeutic experience for her since most of the collection was developed during the year of the pandemic.
Based out of Mumbai, she’s a happily married to Aaditya, whom she also calls her favorite travel buddy and spiritual half. Together, they feature their travel pictures and photographic reflections on day-to-day life on @thedustysuitcase (Instagram)
