Ahmiyat a beautiful Hindi poetry book by Shitiz Dogra

Starting from the very beautiful cover, this book is a work of art.  It's basically an anthology of poems and some write ups written by the poet Mr. Shitiz Dogra.   It has 50 such pieces that evoke in a reader various emotions  irrespective of where they are in their lives.  Once I used to write poems. So I know they cannot be produced.  The lines just come out on their own. It is the result of daily observations that search for an ear and hope that in this world someone else also can conquire similar perceptions towards life.   To find someone who would understand those lines that got inscribed from the ink of your heart's pen and ultimately understand you.  Such are these pieces in this book. They reveal to you a world of imaginations, a spring full of  hopefulness, a summer of new comings, an autumn of nostalgia for the gone days and a winter full of grief for the lost ones. The pages like the different seasons in one's life bring forward ...

Rippling waters of Solitude by Ameya Bondre

Rippling waters of Solitude by Ameya Bondre ( IG: @authorameya) They never become waves. They never make noise. They form,play around and die. They form again. They spread, circle, break and scatter. They never become waves - waves that surge high, jump and run to the shore. Such are the ripples- the thoughts, musings and words in this book.  This book is a work of art. Its a beautiful collection of 14 pieces. Probably they are poems but they cannot be truly designated into a single box. They are scattered thoughts sone heart felt musings and yet few come under modern styled poetry.  It's richly illustrated with colourful pictures expanding over full pages. Each piece of work is accompanied by some quotes by  eminent poets and authors too.
