"There is a practised rawness to Mitra’s poetry that serves this collection brilliantly. The words are often an extension of her observations of the world, her emotions, and her people. The collection is divided into 5 sections. While all of them have"

"Reading this feels like unraveling the mysteries of your own inner self. It feels like reliving the moments, those memories, which once were your present, engulfing you with nostalgia. My personal favourite is Rains. "

David Szalay’s Flesh is offbeat and smart—more on the lines of Hemingway and Camus. The book picks up in a while and starts entertaining you. He tells a lot without directly telling it. Interesting dialogues. No overdose of emotions. I actually like h ...more |

Reading this book felt like a song being hummed to you— a melancholic one laced with profound pain. The stories highlight the horrific details of the Korean unrest and its aftermath. |

These stories do speak to you and make you question many deep-rooted beliefs. You realize that listening to your heart and being content is more important than social status. “Half-Cup Moon” not only addresses the friction between husband and wife and ...more |

Nostalgic, heartfelt, and endearing verses. Places that remind the poet of bygone times, whispering into the present. ‘Drench Me in Silver’ is a wonderful collection of poems. Feels really good to have read it, finally. |

“The best thing for being sad," replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That's the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
