"A page is torn from your life every day and it’s flown away with the wind. What story does that page tell?"
The above quote turned as my instant favourite from the book - "Misplaced Mind". The book is about a collection of poems mostly based on the self-thoughts we often ask ourselves. Each poem in this book kicks off on a light note, but in the end, it leaves you in deep thought. The overall collection of poems is beautiful and well-crafted. It is worth reading aloud twice, thrice, as many times as you want. The more you read it, the more it will make sense to you.
The poems are very light and you can feel positive vibes around you after reading them. I also appreciate the way the author distinguished the themes of the poem and also additionally presented with a beautiful photograph at the start and a space at last to write down the readers thought process about the theme is engaging.
Overall, short, engaging and meaningful musings.

Do you believe in muses, ruminarations and reminiscises that helps you pass through each phases of your life? Do you seat in one corner of your room or table or the desk and at times go through the exercise of reliving memories from good old days which left an indelible mark within your heart? Sometimes, unknowningly our mind traces in those paths which to our memory are never pleasant and as this book rightly has titled, our minds are always misplaced where scattered thoughts play a bizarre collage, tone and music of both sad and happy strings that are placed within our physical constructions. This book starts with a question of Who Am I and then goes on to say what am I, what I could be, and what I wanted to be through it's various anecdotal poems that narrate the life of a poet who quite unabashedly has shared intances and incidences as well where she searched for freedom, wanted to breakthrough by a startingly revating breakout from various shacklebound events of her life and also sometimes got lost thinking that she has now mostly forgotten what she once wanted to become. This book is a psychological take on how minds can sometimes reflect a myriad of thoughts and play the pictures of past actions to our physical self just as a mirror projects our reflection of the physical self upon it's surface and resurfaces again the same questions, who am I? And what at times my mind plays weird little games with me? This book a must read for all and it will guide one to various painted pictures of one's past. A read that is delightable.

For someone who is not a regular reader of poems, I had my doubts when I got access to this book. But when I started reading, I felt that this is my story as it is others', captured in a wordplay that keeps one engaged.
Anupama Krishnan's poems help us view our life through its edges, and cracks and still makes it feel complete and perfect. She breaks the age old concept of perfection and frees readers from the shackles of conditioned thinking.
Excellent hashtags and frequent opportunities to pen down our own thoughts in the book is a refreshing idea.
Overall, excellent book. Thank you for getting me introduced to poems. I am sure you will also enthrall all with lyrical prose and I will be eagerly waiting to read your next book.

Perfect read for poetry lovers
Misplaced Mind, as the title depicts, the book contains all the confusions and the thoughts of the writer at various stages of her life. Overall, I liked the concept of mocking bird and the way the narration started. Most of the poems felt very relatable, out of which few of my favorites are "#loveyourself", "#LetsShare", "#SeekerForLife" and "#DropYourFears"
"Nobody can give you the love you don’t have for yourself" #LoveYourself
The lines in this poem are absolutely impactful and the content it covered is also brilliant. I would recommend it to all the poetry lovers.

Marvelous poetry.
"Every single day,
we change in so many different ways,
the person who returns home at night,
isn't the same as the one who left in daylight.
Yet, when people change,
we point it out as a mistake,
while the only way to not change,
is to be dead and buried underground.
Even then,
you are slowly decaying away."
