Whispers that are loud and profound. A beautiful collection.
April 25, 2022
Whispers in the dark by Chitra Anand quite literally does justice to its title I must say that was a clever pick!
It consists of cute little illustrations here and there,
The poetries have brief length as far as I am concerned it wasn't too short it wasn't too long, also I could really notice the different kinds of poetic techniques the author has tried to experiment with, be it with the rhyming scheme being abstract or be it in the rhythm.
What I really appreciate about the whole venture though is the raw vulnerability of emotions portrayed in plain sight to it's readers.
As humans we often lie to one another and sometimes, that another is no one else but ourselves.
And when that happens, it means we are either too scared of embarrassed of what we are feeling at the moment.
The book talks of love, relationships, a break, lust and longing but when looked at from a higher perspective I would say the author is trying to traverse the uncharted territory of vulnerability and taboo which has often been something labelled by our beloved society!
Here's a snippet of my favourite part.
"Resigned to an endless silent forever
They longingly look down at us who longingly look back at them
They yearn for the fingers lacing ours
Hands encircling our waist
For laughter, melodies and conversations"

Overall a short and a worthwhile read!

📚 Book Review 📚
Chitra Padmana is a great poet and must be appreciated for authoring the book Whispers In The Dark. This book is a a collection of poems. The poetries within touch the heart deeply.
I would like to mention two of my favourite poems from the book. They are as follows:
Noisy Silence
" Crunching knuckles Breathing in and out Maddening stillness Eerie hushes around Deathly rattle on a loop With a tick and a tock No airy whirring is respite As leaks drip and drop."
Love?
"This love, where you make me your goddess and worship me ardently and then topple me off the pedestal with a sneer that ices over my breast."
The poet is an artist and the art in the form of poems are just mesmerizing. Readers will find the urge to face all that they have been running away from via the poems within the book.
Must say, the book is a reflection to human emotions as well as the society we live in. I would recommend this book for poetry lovers.
Rating- 5/5
Thank You.

Whisper In The Dark by Chitra Padman
Untamed. Unspoken. Unrefined
Explaining your pain and happiness is always easy but describing your feelings which makes you uncomfortable is damn difficult but when an author like Chitra Padmana decides to do it then it does magic.
Whisper in the dark is a collection of poems which revolves around feelings, victory, loneliness, panic and many such strong emotions which gives you ultimate wings or sometimes the darkness for life.
The emotions behind every poem are so strong that it will definitely shake you from inside. To face society, to face criticism is what every poem will tell you about. It also firms your self-esteem and confidence. You will definitely recall the most embarrassing moments of your life and a line of smile will appear on your lips.
This book is recommended to all (even the ones who have not read the poems could definitely relate to it and will enjoy it thoroughly).

Whispers in the dark - A collection of poems

Ratings ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Review
My favorite poem from the collection was DAMN YOU DEVIL
"But damn you, Devil
Go back to Hell
For to him, not to you
Will I finally sell
My soul, my body
And all of my desire
He can take, he can taste
The salt of my fire
The flames shall fly
Up in the sky
You'd damn us, Devil
You'd have nothing to sell
For we'd be together
And we'd burn your Hell"
Anyway back to the review I loved the way each poem was executed from the get go! The rhyme scheme, the rhythm of it is so captivating. The topics that the poems are about makes the reader relate to it and the way the author has used metaphor, oxymoron and hyperboles used are very well placed and makes the reader want to just cozy up with a hot cuppa. A short read but not a light one because it deals with a bit of reality.

The writer is a craftsman and the workmanship as sonnets are simply entrancing. Perusers will track down the desire to confront all that they have been fleeing from by means of the sonnets inside the book.
Should say, the book is an impression of human feelings as well as the general public we live in. I would prescribe this book to verse sweethearts.
An absolute necessity read for every one individuals in most unfathomable love. The hold of words and sentiments communicated is incredible.

I started reading Whispers In The Dark and hadn't been able to keep it away until I finished reading the very last page at 1 am.
With every passing poem that I read, my mind was just going bonkers over how Chitra has penned down each word with sheer brilliance. This book is amazing, to say the least, and you definitely have to get this!
Every poem tugged at some or the other string in my heart and the tunes that played after brought out myriad emotions in me. I'm in love with Chitra Padmana's writing and creativity!!

"This love, where you make me your goddess and worship me ardently and then topple me off the pedestal with a sneer that ices over my breast."
Yes.. the poems are so soothing. I really love to read poems and this never made me dissapointed.
The title was too apt to the collection. I felt the whole poetry as the whispers of myself from a part of life with a restricted entry to others.
So beautiful poems.

Poems were not my taste but I loved some poetries and have some, which I keep close to my heart. And now there comes a new special one "The Whispers in the Dark".
One of my concerns was that, the poems end too soon. I wanted to wander in that world with the poet like an Alice in Wonderland.
Expecting more more poems and writings from Chitra Ma'am.

This is was soulful poetry I read this days. I was seeing my life at some verses, as if I was holding a mirror. The author was indeed writing from within. This was indeed a work of grace.
Regarding the language, I am not saying anything rather one must feel it.
