Published

April is National Poetry Month and to celebrate National Poetry Month for 2022 we have some good Poetry Books. So whether you attend poetry slams every Friday or haven’t read a poem after 10th grade English, it’s the perfect time to spice up your shelf with that we would suggest you read. 🙂


1. Ghachar Ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag

‘It’s true what they say – it’s not we who control money, it’s the money that controls us. When there’s only a little, it behaves meekly; when it grows, it becomes brash and has its way with us.’From a cramped, ant-infested house to a spacious bungalow, a family finds itself making a transition in many ways. The narrator, a sensitive young man, is numbed by the swirl around him. All he can do is flee every day to an old-world cafe, where he seeks solace from an oracular waiter. As members of the family realign their equations and desires, new strands are knotted, others come apart, and conflict brews dangerously in the background. Masterfully translated from the Kannada by Srinath Perur, Ghachar Ghochar is a suspenseful, playful, Read More..

2. Jaun Elia: Ek Ajab Ghazab Shayar

A very well-written piece of work that does justice to the legacy of a great poet.

The meaning of difficult Urdu words, given in the footnote on the same page, makes it a smooth read for even an uninitiated reader. My heartiest regard to the author, who very graciously provided his contact number at the back cover, for enriching us with this very well-researched book.
The book will let you know about Juan in much detail, Read More..

5. Ibaarat by Vikram Gill

Ibaarat (Composition) is a collection of ghazals written by Vikram Gill. In this book, the poet shares his life lessons and bares his soul. The daily experiences, trials, emotions, and anecdotes form the basis of his poems through which he can eloquently express his situation or circumstance that does not otherwise allow him to.

There are recurrent themes of compromise, sacrifice, delayed understanding, and ultimate acceptance across the poems that are not very different from life itself, and the poet has captured them in a casual, yet undeniable manner.

6. She by Mahak Chowdhury

“She is a fresher to the archetype of beauty, that lies in hourglass-like bodies but not in timeless inner geniality.” She always keeps her words to herself, all her rhythms and secrets buried in her brown diary.

Her poetry has molded itself with time. Her heart and mind are often in a brawl for the choices she makes as she finds love in shrouded corners. As she comes face to face with the rules of society, will she be able to finally learn to love herself?

7. Broken Thoughts Fix Me by Anshuman Gupta

It’s making weird faces at each other. It’s laughing till our stomachs hurt. It’s fighting with each other, but also for. It’s making promises, but also holding on to them. It’s looking at each other, but also out for. It’s falling, but into each other’s arms. Its evening strolls in bustling markets and late-night drives on empty streets.

It’s friendship. It’s family. It is everything and anything you want it to be. It’s something as simple as a hot chocolate on a cold day, something as grand as the Taj Mahal. It is emotions, and words, and thoughts. And how they heal.

8. Constellation of Letters by Naysa Nambiar Seth

This debut poetry collection is weaved around that very phrase with three parts: the sun, the moon, and the stars. Each section is filled with stunning and raw prose that is sure to captivate the mind of the reader.

It provides a fresh perspective, bringing sensitive topics to a new light in the form of honest, thought-provoking poetry.

9. Coffee Mug by Anand

Coffee Mug – This compilation of Haiku, ghazals, poems, etc. is an artistic creation of the author. On every page of this book, there are sweet and sour moments of common life, whose beautiful composition touches the mind of the reader. While the short lines of the haiku present big ideas, the simple meaning of the heavy words of the Ghazalnuma lightens the heart. Just as Mahiya and Couplets describe different tastes, poems inspire us to look at the world from a different perspective. This book would help you to find peace and relaxation in today’s busy life, just hold ‘Coffee Mug’ in both hands – one to amuse one’s tongue, the other to amuse one’s soul. – Rounak, New Delhi (India)

10. Paradox by Nidhi Dhanwani

This anthology portrays the perspective and idea of what poetry means to the poet. The writing is inspired by personal experiences, wishful thinking and numerous artists the author fell in love with. This book aims to be a sanctuary to those seeking a sense of resemblance and love on all kinds of days. It encapsulates the author’s emotions as she balances her struggles by befriending words. The motivation behind this piece of work is to simply introduce you to her dearest friends – her words and her poetry.

This Author is Mastering the Skies, Racetracks, and the World of Literature.

Published

on

In the world of literature, there are authors who create, and then there are authors who defy conventions. Sudanand belongs to the latter category, a man whose remarkable life journey encompasses the skies, racetracks, and now, the world of words. His latest literary masterpiece, “Beethoven’s Last Symphony,” has captivated readers, offering a profound exploration of the human condition through a poignant story containing an equally touching nested narrative. Sudanand’s work is best described as an ‘existentially’ themed coming-of-age novel, comprising elements of a mystery, a Greek tragedy, a powerful emotional arc, historical events, and frequent allusions to the transcendental power of art, literature, and music. But who is Sudanand, the author behind this compelling narrative?

A Life in the Skies

Before penning his debut novel, Sudanand soared to great heights—literally. Commencing his flying training in 1995 at the tender age of 18, he went on to pursue a decade-long career with Jet Airways followed by another decade spent in Malaysia flying for Air Asia. Having amassed over 16,000 hours aloft, circumnavigating congested airways across the Middle East, India and South East Asia, Sudanand surely has many an interesting tale to tell. His expertise in aviation adds a unique dimension to his storytelling, infusing his narrative with an authentic understanding of the heavens that few authors can match, to say nothing of the fact that many of the ideas in the novel were conceived in the vicinity of the upper limits of the Troposphere!

Racing Towards Glory

But Sudanand’s life isn’t just about soaring through the heavens; it’s also about the adrenalin rush of the racetrack. With a passion for motorsport, he has participated in a staggering 160+ races in both India and Malaysia. His racing journey includes competing in single-seater formula race cars and saloon race cars, with an impressive record of 50+ podium finishes and 10 race wins. Sudanand’s pursuit of speed led him to the top three positions in the national championship on four occasions, including a sole national championship victory.

Entrepreneurship and Beyond

In 2021, Sudanand made a return to India, where he took on a new role as the Deputy Director of Ortho-One, a leading Orthopaedic hospital that his family founded. This foray into the world of healthcare demonstrates his versatility and entrepreneurial spirit. Sudanand’s ability to excel in diverse fields, from aviation to motorsport and now healthcare, speaks to his relentless pursuit of excellence.

A Symphony of Words

Amidst his whirlwind of achievements, Sudanand, a doting single parent to his teen daughter and an avid pianist, also found the time to nurture his literary talents. His debut novel, “Beethoven’s Last Symphony,” is nothing short of a literary symphony. Set against the hustle and bustle of Chinese New Year celebrations in, both, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, the novel delves into the existential churnings of human existence that emerge from having to deal with the certainty of mortality and life’s many uncertainties. Sudanand’s poetic and reflective writing style invites readers to ponder life’s intricacies and the human condition.

A Literary Triumph

“Beethoven’s Last Symphony” isn’t just a novel; it’s an intricate exploration of human existence. The story revolves around Zoey, a young high school student grappling with the absurdity of human finitude amidst the festive chaos just as there appear the hints of an impending pandemic. Sudanand’s deft portrayal of Zoey’s emotional turmoil draws readers in, making her a relatable and empathetic protagonist from the start.

As the narrative unfolds, Zoey’s discovery of an incomplete and dilapidated manuscript sets in motion a confounding mystery and a journey that transcends generations. Sudanand masterfully weaves together the present and various historical periods, interlacing Zoey’s quest with that of her ancestors’ past. The result is a symphony of an affecting three-part epic that resonates across time and cultures.

A Timeless Message

“Beethoven’s Last Symphony” leaves an indelible mark on the soul, urging us to seek and reflect upon meaning rather than the trivial pursuit of happiness, though without neglecting the potency and timelessness of love and the enduring power of art to transcend barriers. The book has garnered rave reviews, with critics praising Sudanand’s ability to seamlessly blend philosophy, culture, history, music, aviation, and the human spirit into a captivating and soul-enriching read.

In Sudanand, we find not just an author and a wordsmith but a true Renaissance individual who has mastered multiple realms—skies, racetracks, healthcare, and now, the world of literature. His ability to channel his diverse experiences, pursuits, and interests into his writing is a testament to his exceptional talents. As we dive into the pages of “Beethoven’s Last Symphony,” we are reminded that sometimes the most profound symphonies are composed not with musical notes and notations but with words, and Sudanand is, indeed, the virtuosic maestro behind this literary masterpiece.
