Souhardya Mandal writes from the spaces people usually leave unspoken: the pauses between the unsent messages, the feelings that arise at midnight, and the kind of love that exists quietly without certainty, just hope.
The Moon Watched You is not written from expertise, but from experience. His work is defined by one-sided love, emotional endurance, silence, and the pain of wanting without entitlement. He believes poetry is not meant to impress, but to confess honestly, gently, and without any form of reciprocation.
This book only documents what it feels like to live through love, particularly the craving, the restraint, the devotion that stays even when it is not returned. This writing is minimal, intimate, and rooted in moments most people feel but rarely speak.
When he is not writing, he is usually observing the night sky, unfinished conversations, and the way feelings last longer than people. This book is a reflection of that habit: watching and feeling.
He is also the author of “You Were Never Mine, But I Was Always Yours”, a deep and personal exploration of unreciprocated love and emotional persistence. Together, his books form a quiet conversation about loving without possession, staying without expectation, and learning to live with what remains unsaid.
