DESCRIPTION An Epic poetry collection of 21st Century Inc. told in a mode of the Victorian age. The agony of the IT generation flowing silently through their hearts may not make much noise pollution; the alarm bells of emotional pollution are sounding, notwithstanding. Amol Redij's poems impelled by the aridity of solitude unfold the looming veil on the suppressed excruciations of the young generation falling into a trap of detachment caused by hectic lifestyles and fragile relationships. The poems, the absurd nightmares of the present will make you moan silently with a frozen echo within you. The desolate bosom fermented with sorrow with cast an infectious spell to find a cathartic nirvana one needs, ultimately. The whole generations' sorrow confined in this Integrated Circuit (IC) will, little by little, haunt unapproachable reaches of your inside. MY REVIEW Heartbreaks, distress and pain these emotions majorly make a writer and with them, there is...

Maza-ma- Maza is a really thoughtful and impactful book . It is  a splendid collection of hindi and urdu nazms. Primarily based on the concept of let bygones be bygones it focuses its readers towards life experiences and preaches to forget past offences or causes of conflict and be reconciled. The book unfolds into a plethora of nazms and ashars that are immensely motivating and throw a light on the real life experiences of the author and are extremely relatable, somehow. Motivation, our thoughts and reflections upon life might be varying for each one of us. But whilst, I read this book, I found myself connected  to every line, every paragraph put down by the author. The usage of vocabulary, the flow of the chapters, the title of every nazm is extremely on point and the book slowly and steadily encaptured all of my attention into it. I am really delighted after going through this book and I must say that the author has done a fabulous job in scripting t...

DESCRIPTION Qiyasi Kash-Ma-Kash is a collection 50 Urdu Poems in Hindi., English and Urdu written by Poet M M Khan. Indian author, lawyer, diplomat, journalist and politician, Mr. Khushwant Singh recommended this book and wrote, "It has been a sheer joy reading M M Khan's Urdu Poetry he has sent to me from time to time. To those who wish to share my joy, I recommend this book". MY REVIEW Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Emotions, sentiments, societal beliefs, norms, rules and regulations, these have forever bounded the realm. We all ought to have our own ways of understanding and accepting the ideals around us. Qiyasi-Kash-Ma-Kash by author M.M. Khan is a beautiful book comprising of  50 poems. A thoughtful amalgamation of spirituality, love, hatred and a plethora of emotions. The author has very ...

DESCRIPTION This book aims at introducing poetry lovers to different forms of poetry to help many aspiring poets to keep writing and enjoying poetry. This is to create a base among the poetry lovers to get a feel and understanding about poetry. Becoming a great poet is indeed a monumental task, but learning and enjoying poetry is not. Learning various forms of poetry hooks the creative part of a poet that unleashes the new dimensions of poet and poetry. “There’s a Poet in Everyone” and everyone can learn poetry, share and enjoy it. 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 c...

DESCRIPTION ‘Dear Russell, Your’s Truly’, with all its seven stories, the title story being loosely predicated on a personal encounter, is very close to my heart. Every character, every protagonist, living or dead, is in search of love. But aren’t we all? Through their respective ordeals, they do find love, just not in the conventional way they expected. We all are Jason, Raj and Sid. We all are Gauri, Mohana, and Grace. Some of us are Rudra also; it’s only a matter of time till we accepted it. Each of the seven stories of ‘Dear Russell, Your’s Truly’ is a journey, at the end of which, some find acceptance, some find absolution, and some find answers they had spent a lifetime chasing. MY REVIEW How can love ever be defined, that too appropriately? The glitter in the eyes of a kid when he sees his favourite toy, the yearning of a distant lover gone for work, the fear of losing out your beloved and kindness sparkling through the eyes of your pet. Love is truly undef...
