MY REVIEW



When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses. This quote by John F. Kennedy holds true and it somewhere also inspires me to keep on writing.



Writing my heart out, penning my emotions in the form of poems has always been my cup of tea. One day randomly scrolling through social media, I came across this book in a friend's feed named as, There's a poet in Everyone by Dr. Diwakar Pokhriyal and I was startled because I thought, Is it so? Is writing poems such an effortless task? Because to the contrary, I was stuck onto the fact that I was blessed and Oh! It is in my genes!

To satiate my suspicion, I bought the kindle edition of this book and I started reading it. And trust me, I was so captivated by the content of the book that I finished it overnight.

I admit that I was never aware of what all forms can Poems be drafted in.
ABC poetry, Freedopoetry, Fibonacci, there are hundred such forms explained beautifully throughout the book. The author indeed seems very meticulous.
The usage of vocabulary, examples, the short poems mentioned all of it is highly appreciable.

I am in short of words, while I express my pleasure after reading the book. I am glad that having learnt the minutest details of Poetry formation conveyed in the book, I can now ink my emotions more appropriately.

I am glad to give this book a 5/5 star.

You can grab your book from Amazon, available in both paperback and kindle edition:

I also have a profile on goodreads, wherein I have done many such reviews as I am an avid reader!

Book Review of Shehar Me Ladka

  Some books don’t feel like books at all – they feel like someone opening up a corner of their life and letting you step in. Shaher mein ladka, ladke mein… was that kind of book for me. I come from a small town myself, and like the author, I once carried the same restless dream of moving to a city. Reading these stories, I could almost hear echoes of my own journey – the confusion, the excitement, the way the old world never really leaves you even when you’re chasing a new one. What I loved most is how honest these stories are. Some are drawn from the author’s own life, some from friends and family, and some from the way life just brushes past us when we’re not expecting it. But all of them feel lived-in and real. At times I smiled, at times I just sat quietly with a line long after reading it, and a few stories left me with that sweet ache of remembering where I came from. This isn’t just about small towns and big cities – it’s about the spaces in between, the people who shape us...
