Author- Kuhoo Gupta

book-cover-3d

‘Zindagi ke martbaan se: Poetic reflections from the jar of life’ by Kuhoo Gupta is an esoteric book which gave me essence of minute- minute facets of life in some beautiful and decored lines.

Poetries are something which is the gracious gift to the heart, one could give.Either writing or reading poetry both could heal the wounds of heart.Kuhoo Gupta’s this compilation of poetry seems to heal those wounds when heart fails to blossom who used to blossoms forever.

As the back cover says-‘ “Zindagi Ke Martbaan Se” is a poetry collection written in conversational language- Hindi mixed with Urdu and English.The poems are inspired by a plethora of topics like love,nostalgia,rememberance,random human emotions,natural beauty and spirituality.’

I found title apt for the content.Through this book, poetess reflected some touchy and unforgettable moments of her life in the form of poetries. From diminutive poems to some not so long poems,poetess manages to pour her heart inking her pen with imagination of her eyes.Pain of longingness is lucidly shown in the poems.

The poems would able to touch reader’s heart and one could easily co-relate with the poems in the book.The easy language used in the poems make it more sober and easy to understand.Though some urdu words are used in the book,keeping this in mind,poetess provided glossary below the poems for readers’ comfort.

Some lines give radiant essence of the feelings whereas I felt like some verses need to be write more and needs to go deep down.In short, this book would able to get reader’s attention and grab their interest with the honesty poetess shown towards her heart.

Rating-3.2/5
