Book Review:Why So Poetry by Niket Raj Dwivedi

 🖤WHY SO POETRY🖤:✒BOOK REVIEW✒

.

RATING:⭐⭐⭐💫(3.5/5)




🖤As the name says, this book is an amalgamation of poems--poems that will melt your heart in particular. The poems make you feel sad ,but at the same time,shows you the brighter side of it. 

.

🖤The book talks about love in general and how they appear to us in abstract forms. Love shines behind the glistening stars and find voices amidst the chirping of birds.

The poems talk about the way we lose our momentum when someone who we love is gone. Forever. 

Even though the ones we love leave one day, it is strange to see how the absence of our loved ones never leaves. The shadow stays. Love stays. Maybe,for a moment or so but doesn't that feel like forever? A moment to cherish forever, how does that sound? Peculiar? Love is peculiar,only if one knows how it feels to see the spring returning flowers and colours to one's barren heart. 

Does love fade with the passage of time? Isn't it possible to stay the way we thought it to be? 

Endless nights. Tears rolling down. 

But it's never too late to embrace December that brings the cold but kisses the warmth of love. 

.

🖤The poems emphasize on heartbreaks and how love is sometimes,tragic,meaningless and temporary. 

I'd have loved the book more if the rawness of love was portrayed and with more emphasis on the depth of love. The framing of sentences could have been better. The rhythmic sensation of love is lost at times.

Book Review: Decisions of Heart by Saurabh Pant

 🔴DECISIONS OF HEART🔴 RATINGS:⭐⭐⭐⭐💫(4.5/5) Love demands no barriers. It absolutely has no boundaries. There is no horizon. The thin line of the idea of love forms a slight barrier to the real essence of love. The book is a beautiful work that lets you feel. You may end up breathing the thin air of love and see yourself standing amidst the forest of love. The book lets you reminisce those memories,when you were surrounded with the feeling of love. The poems talk about how everything made no sense when we poured our hearts out infront of our loved ones. Even silence spoke. And it screamed. It said that "Yes,we're in love." And now, it's just a memory of cold, wintry nights on summer days. The thread of love was strong enough to hide those little secrets we shared once. The beauty of each poem lies in the days that glowed once. With the passage of time, it faded. Gradually. But the love continues climbing onto each mountain we see. The poems lets you re-visit those da...

Book Review-Burning Asia:The Present Image by Saurabh Pant

BURNING ASIA:THE PRESENT IMAGE Ratings:⭐⭐⭐⭐💫(4.5/5) The title 'Burning Asia' shook me to the core,as if the continent is falling apart. The subtitle points out that this is not only a poetry collection,but also a critical account in verses about what Asia went through.This highlights the present image of world's largest continent,Asia. The feeling of impending doom stays throughout the book. Humans lay hold of dreadful actions which brought gruesome consequences.A war of extremes leads to nothing,but destruction. Violence and terror are inscribed on these pages. A sense of fear is generated throughout. What seems to be words suspended under a bar of verses gradually take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions.  Do we, as citizens know what's coming next or what's going to happen to the world we live in ? We feel caged. And the culprits still rejoice in the open. This has been going on a continual basis.How long shall we live on the basis of mere conjectures? The a...

Book Review: What Could Have Been by Luke Melia

  WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN This review is a part of Outset Books Review Program. The title   What Could Have Been  by Luke Melia itself suggests that we all tend to resort to some sort of a illusory perception, a dreamlike image, or a mirage which runs in parallel with the world we live in--- the world where the persistent boredom of our dreary and futile existence conceals the 'other' world that should have been and could have been just ours.  On a holiday in Greece, Dale and Suzanne plan to go on a boat trip, where the former happens to meet Heather. However, as the "tips of her fingers brushed the palm of his hand", everything went "pitch black". The author's use of such a brilliant narrative technique is completely in tune with the use of time, memory and nostalgia. Just as their reality went dark in an instant, a spark of imagination or the 'other' reality seems to ignite a space of their own--- just the two of them, creating innumerable possi...
