This is a beautiful ode , a creation of love by poetess Shruti Malik towards her late grandparents. Now a days we have forgetten what really love represents. That its existence is not really limited to fairy tales or  stories from ancient times. It still thrives in between few people and one of those couples were her late grandparents Mr. Sohan Lal Dhamija and Mrs. Santosh Kumari Dhamija who left them back in June 2020. 

If soulmates exist they are represention of this concept. In her poems she talks about their lives and their heart touching eternal love. Not only they loved each other dearly but kept love growing inside their family as well. 

This is a book full of poems. As a whole it represents poetess's immense love and respect towards them. It talks about a story in verses that is based on the real life events. Her grandfather Nanu inspired and motivated her towards writing from her very childhood. When I got to know more  about her grandparents, I felt very connected to them. 

She has included their pictures in black and white. Each page oozes intense emotions of pure love. I got to know what kind of people they were, their early life, adult life, marriage, family life and care they showered on their children and their grandchildren. 
Later the knowledge of their untimely and unthinkable departure left me heartbroken. It reminded me of my own maternal grandmother as similar events led to her departure as well. The allegorical words brought tears to my eyes. 

This elegiac ode by Shruti Malik is an evidence of her immense respect towards her grandparents. It is deeply painful to loose our loved ones but death is inevitable for all living beings. 

It not only speaks about her loving memories and love but her deep pain of loosing her most valuable treasures in her life that she now carries in her heart forever. The letters by other members of her family also represents what beautiful people her grandparents were. 

I feel if one reads this book they will definitely feel the emotions bound in the pages. Moreover it will remind them of and kindle love for  their own loved ones who they keep forever in their hearts.
