Synopsis

The poems of this book were not meant to be in a book.

They were quiet reflections of a curious and active mind that wrote poems because it just had to. The poet did not seek compliments or kudos from friends or family; in fact, most of the collection here wasn't read by anyone at any time. This was art for art's sake.

The reason this collection exists is not because there is a single underlying theme but because it asks a handful of existential questions: what does it mean to love and be loved, what remains when time has taken everything, can a longing outlast the thing it longs for, and what does it mean to belong to someone or something. This collection is a compendium of private confessions that remind us of what it is to be human.

These poems were first published in Hindi in 2020 as "Ateet Ki Parchai", translated as "Shadows of the Past". This English translation will hopefully reach a wider audience.

While translation inevitably loses something - a feeling, a cadence, a word with no equivalence - the reader should know that it is as close to the original as possible.

It is a message from the heart for those who are willing to listen.
