‘The Hopeless Romantic’ by Arnab Chandra is a collection of poems and short stories. We get to see how the author has beautifully described various emotions through these poems. We get to read poems revolving around love, death, attachment, dreams, etc. We sometimes feel how things could have been better, how things could have been done differently ignoring the fact that life can give us sudden surprises and the only thing that we can do is go with the flow.
The author has excellently put forward his thinking in these beautiful poems and short stories. Some of my favourite poems are as follows:
• Differently
• Other Side
• Misdirection
• I am still waiting for
Language is simple and lucid. There are poems which will leave the readers emotional and some will make us ponder.
Overall, I must say that the author has touched each and every emotion that we get to experience at times and beautifully woven them into these beautiful poems. I would surely recommend these to people who are looking forward to start reading poems.

Simply awesome. I loved the way he wrote. It was touching and pure inspiration for anyone who reads it. End of the stories is reliable. But also the author narrated poems about life, love, friendship, Truth, emotion, struggle and dreams magnificently written. After reading some poems I became emotional.
The Hopeless Romantic by Arnab Chandra is the collection of poems AND short stories which is beautifully written. It's all about love or I say how he describes many topics ( with unique emotions ). The never-ending ever beautiful quest of love. The poems about love are the many most topic which is relatable for all typewriters. It is because it is an emotion felt by everyone at somewhere in their life. It has countless dimensions. That's why everything written about love feels like new, every time.
Like that the author unveils his journey of finding, falling and living in his life. The different viewpoints of affection are explored through words here. The author accounts the different human, emotions, love and their natures through the poems and short stories.
Containing three very short stories, often only about 2 pages long,
All story is very beautifully written and well described.
I the authors way to write these stories.
My favourite poetry lines,

There are very few movements in life,
Moments when you were in peace,
When you were contempt with life,
Moments when you felt free again,
These movements; Never let them go,

One can thoroughly enjoy these poems and stories in this book. It is without-provoking pure manner. You can sit back and read it. They are thought-provoking and calming at the same time.
I recommend this book to all poetry lovers.
Happy reading 😊.
Thank you all ✍✍✍.

🌸The Hopeless Romantic is a collection of poems and short stories where each piece gives you a glance into the Author’s world of imagination. It narrates a journey of a soul who is hopeless enough to question Life and its dark necessities. Life can be tricky sometimes and it can beat you down but then, never forget to mourn, to suffer, to cry before you get back up and ‘smile’.

🌸I am really impressed with this book, all the poems are so relatable and you can feel the emotions behind each poem which is really a good quality about writing, if you can put feelings and emotions in yours words, its commendable. All the poems whether its about love, healing, moments, pain or quarantine, every poem holds a message or a lesson along with the real emotions. Beleive me you will feel each and every poem. There is a deep connection in the poetries and these poets have all together a different level of understanding for each and every word. The way they describe the feelings/emotions through poetries somehow keep me connected to the book. Poetry holds magic.

🌸All the poems are important and beautiful to read but some really holds a special place in my heart like a poem named "MOMENTS" which says-
"There are very few moments in life,
Moments when you were in peace,
When you were contempt with life,
Moments when you felt free again,
These movements; Never let them go."

🌸Honesty, this book came to me at just the right time, when I needed a better understanding about some things and this gave me direction and helped me in my healing process.

"Like the " I hate you!"
Like the "fuck you and please die"
Like the broken promises and lie,
Like the flickering simmering light,
Light of the aged ancient lamp post,
Witnessed those weak,unspoken; 'Goodbyes'.~The Hopeless Romantic."

The mentioned lines are from the book "The Hopeless Romantic" by @i.arnab✍️
It's a collection of fifty-three amazing poems and few short stories that gives the readers a glace into the author's world of imagination. Each poem is penned in a unique style.Each poem describes a feeling which is not often talked about.The poems are not too tough to understand. I could easily relate to it🌠It narrates a journey of a soul who is hopeless enough to question life and its dark necessities.It's recommended for everyone who loves reading poetry books.

Everyone faces problems in life.No single person is completely happy in this world🌍It's just some expresses and some leaves it hidden deep inside them.This book motivates the readers to a greater extent.Sometimes the situation might get worst and it can beat you down.But then remember that you can always come back no matter how hard it is.And at the end everything will be fine and become normal.
Just get up and 'SMILE'.Self-belief is everything.

When God pushes you to the edge of difficulty, trust him fully, because two things can happen; either He'll catch you when you fall or He will teach you to fly🕊️

My Review📚

🎵The Hopeless Romantic by Arnab Chandra is the collection of poems and short stories which are perfectly blended to make you feel each emotion differently.

🎵Starting with the title “The hopeless romantic” may let you perceive the title full of love but trust me its more than that. The cover of the book does justice to the title and matches it appropriately.

🎵Me being the die heart fan of poetry was excited and awaiting for my copy from amazon and all thanks to amazon for as always delaying it for me.

🎵With each poem, it tells you a storey of raw emotions that you read each word which made me interested throughout and connected to the book.

🎵My favourite from the book was “Irony of Truth”.

🎵I will just advice you all to stop what so ever you are doing, grab it , and start reading. I bet you won't regret. I would strongly advice everyone to read this out.

❤️ This book is a collection of beautiful poems and short stories. When it comes to poems, I want to read all of them. This book had a lot of short poems but a rush of feelings and emotions. One after the other, a lot of them made me go through a lot of memories in my head.

❤️ Some made me smile, happy and sad as well. As 2020 has not been a pleasant year for me, but the book made me go in my past, and all the beautiful memories of my crush, friends and first love came up in my mind.

❤️ The best thing about the book is the words are very clear and understandable. You can very easily relate it with your own personal life. People say poems are short so are easy to write, but I don't think so. It takes a lot of efforts to bring out emotions while just reading a few lines. All the poems are just too good.

❤️ Must say, Arnab has written the book in such an awesome way. I just loved it, and I hope you'll too. I'd love to read it again and again! 😌

❤️ There's also this poem named "Goodbyes", must grab your copy and read all of them. Recommended, reading this won't be a regret at all.

"The hopeless romantic" by Arnab Chandra.

Who doesn't adore verses and short stories uncommonly when it is about the existence we spent from our school days to the day of conclusive farewell.. from the snapshot of meeting the affection for our life unexpectedly just as the sharpness of agony realizing that you won't be even ready to will wish a last farewell.

This book of around 80 pages meanders about such episodes just some in verse structure and some very much communicated as short expositions... What's more, out of which my most loved is "Paris never Ended".

From verses I appreciated "Moments"; "Farewell" and some more. Too.. I am happy that the creator didn't disregarded the progressions we as a whole experience as a result of our environmental factors as there comes a sonnet about "Quarantine" as well.

Nothing more can be said... Except if until you, at the end of the day, reveal the container and get a duplicate. Pick up the pace... Taste the genuine nature of life and workmanship... which is ludicrous at each point!

The hopeless romantic is a collection of beautiful poems and short stories✍️
Each poem talks about topics which are hardly expressed.The author has beautifully penned them down.It gives you a glance into the authors imaginative world🌏He openly shares all his thoughts with the readers.
I like the poetry section more than the three short stories.The stories could be given more focus. This book conveys a powerful message to the readers- "Life can be tricky sometimes and it can beat you down.But then,never forget to mourn,to suffer,to cry before you get back up and 'SMILE'."😊
Apart from this the language was easy and I would love to recommend this book to everyone who loves reading poetry.One can gain good moral values from this book📖.Overall it was a good read.

Title: The Hopeless Romantic
Author: Arnab Chandra
Length: 74 pages.
Publisher: The Write order
Genre: Modern Poetry

"Thorns and Roses, Compromise Composes"
This is how the very first poem of the book starts, and it is an easy read that one can easily finish in a single sitting. The book is meant to be a coffee table kind of read.

The author's creativity shines through in this collection of contemporary poetry and short stories, all of which were written by the author himself. Every poetry captures a unique sensation and expresses a mood that cannot be put into words. Poems are beautiful expressions of profound thought. It's possible that you'll have feelings of disconnection at times, but the author has stated that "This is a novel without a sense of direction," and the book lives up to his assertion.

The syntax is flawless, the wording is well-structured and appropriate for the language, and the language itself is simple and easy to understand.

The Hopeless Romantic by Arnab Chandra is a collection of short poems and 3 short stories. Poems leaves readers with different emotions and are of assorted themes. Felt poems penned are of two main kinds, one where it's very near to reality and the other kind are high on imagination. All poems are small, nice and easy to read, written in simple language so easy to understand and relate, but some lack depth.

Short stories are also emotional reads, short reads, are not interrelated so can be read at ease. It's a real small book and can be finished real fast.

Overall a nice one time read and would recommend to all poetry lovers.

The genres the author has covered in this book are myriad. Every poem has a distinctive style. They are written in simple style to make understanding them easy. As the title indicates, most of the poems are about love. Despite the well-written verses, I didn't feel a connection to the poems and stories. The final three short stories had poignant meanings. But I think they could have been put more effectively. Although it's a fine collection of poetry and short stories overall, it's not my cup of tea.
