About the Author:

Shikha comes from a life sciences background, but literature has always been the force that shaped her perspective, revealing the emotional truths that science alone cannot explain. Her first poetry book, “Autumned”, marked the beginning of her exploration of love, grief, and emotional autonomy, establishing the voice she continues to refine.

Deeply influenced by confessional poetry and spiritual philosophy, she writes with psychological depth and honesty, confronting vulnerability, alienation, and the quiet strength that emerges from self-awareness. Her work is for those who have felt too much, trusted deeply, and learned- often the hard way- to choose themselves.

About the book:

Ocean’s Blue is a journey through love, loss, and the pages in between. It explores the moments when you feel chosen and on the verge of happiness- only for it to slip away, leaving you to mourn a version of yourself. It examines relationships that seem perfect on the surface, yet leave something essential missing, the paradox of having everything and nothing at once.

Through poetry and prose, the book captures heartbreak, longing, and the slow, steady ache of losing yourself in an abyss while trying to control the narrative. It is for anyone who has felt the fragility of love, the weight of absence, and the tension of living between what is and what seems almost within reach- a happy ending.
