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: Impulses Laid Bare by Alexia

  IMPULSES LAID BARE We are a montage of memories-- memories that we so artistically camouflage in order to fit in. Our ability to perceive things as they are and the living power to re-imagine to conform to the superficialities are diametrically opposites. The poet prompts us to step right out, to have a day for ourselves and walk along the pavement amidst the "half-woken faces" --- faces drooping in the unfathomable depths of inexpressible emotions. The other half is as obscure as our concealed selves are, but the esoteric knowledge of it is only understood by those who have gone through such failed attempts to "keep the surface pristine" . And as a result, the "concealed cracks" seem to ooze into our reality and all we end up is a blurred perception of our real selves: the shadowlines of loneliness and isolation are now darker than ever before.  The circular nature of loneliness binds us in and claws onto our walls, and its jaws has carnivorous teeth....

Book Review: Rage of Marine Titans by Saurabh Pant

  RAGE OF MARINE TITANS The novella, 'Rage of Marine Titans' is set in the backdrop of the Russian Ukraine conflict of 2022, as the Preface itself suggests. We have witnessed, in some way or the other, the horrendous atrocities committed by mankind. One such instance is the power struggle of the Russian-Ukraine conflict that reached the pinnacle of a boiling point, disrupting order and making its way to gigantic chaos. Subsequently, the sequential order is overthrown by the dominant authority furthered not only by Russia's invasion but it is bolstered to a great extent by pro-Russian forces in Ukraine.  The author, Saurabh Pant in 'Rage of Marine Titans' talks about the illusion of the glory of war. It reminds me of Wilfred Owen, a war poet who decidedly debunked the whole concept of war. The author presents vivid descriptions of the setting- the quietness, the numbness, the oxymoronic "silent whispers" is enveloped in an air of trepidation, waiting for ...
