• About The Book
    "(Ann's) language is both unflinching and delicate, brutal in its honesty and tender in its metaphors." POEMS INDIA Stray Ghosts Sleep on Lily Pads is a collection of raw, unflinching coming-of-age poetry that captures the rugged, uncertain terrain of adolescence. Blurring the fine line between fictional and confessional worlds, all forty-three poems peer into the nostalgic grief of childhood, the desperate anguish of teenage, and the abysmal shadows of mental health struggles that loom overhead as one drifts slowly into adulthood. Yet, amidst the wreckage, there is hope, redemption, and the riotous act of blooming while planted knee-deep in dirt. Through an unfiltered, stream-of-consciousness narrative, Stray Ghosts Sleep on Lily Pads attempts to map a lone teenager's anarchic outburst from darkness into light.  
  • ABOUT THE BOOK
    This isn't just poetry. This is life - raw and unfiltered. Mubarak Sandhu isn't afraid to confront the tough stuff - the things we whisper in the dark, the emotions we bury deep, the unspoken truths of our world, the complexities of human connection, the ache of loss and the flicker of hope that keeps us going, he explores and pens down all such dimensions which we otherwise ignore, suppress or avoid talking about intentionally. This book is a passionate plea for authenticity, a call to embrace the messy, the beautiful, and the bittersweet realities of being alive. The author dares to dream, to create a poetry collection that resonates with your soul, that sparks conversation, and that leaves you feeling seen, understood, and not alone. The essence of life is not just to merely exist, but to live by making a mark in whatever we do and wherever we go. The Best Poetry Book, I Wish It Becomes! is more than just a book of poems. This is an invitation to feel life, to stop existing and start living.

  • About The Book Inspired by the extraordinary life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, this epic poem chronicles his journey from birth to his legacy, illuminating the genius of a king who forged a kingdom from adversity. It is a humble endeavor to portray Shivaji Maharaj not just as a historical figure, but as a leader who championed Swaraj, or self-rule, against formidable opposition from the Muslim sultanates of the Deccan and the mighty Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. The poem delves into the formative influence of his mother, Jijau, and his father, Shahaji Raje, who instilled in him the vision for a kingdom built for the welfare and autonomy of his people, not for personal gain. Through its verses, it recreates the atmosphere of Shivaji's era, highlighting his unwavering commitment to his people and his unshakeable resolve in the face of adversity. This work is a tribute to Shivaji's leadership and the collective spirit of his companions who stood by him, exemplifying the values of loyalty, duty, and sacrifice. It invites the reader to find timeless lessons of courage, resilience, and unwavering dedication in the story of this great Hindu king. His legacy is not a relic of history but a living flame meant to ignite the spirit of selfless service and true leadership.

    ABOUT THE POET
    I am Nekredebla Opus, a twenty-year-old emerging poet hailing from Uttar Pradesh, India. My journey with writing began at the age of thirteen, but it was during my twelfth-grade year that my genuine passion for expressive writing ignited. Struggling with depression, I found solace and liberation through the written word. Writing became my refuge, enveloping me in its ink as I poured out my thoughts and emotions. Fluent in both English and Hindi, I gravitate towards free verse over traditional rhyme schemes, selecting the form that best complements the essence of my ideas. An avid reader and committed journaler.
  • Muse over the moonlight and the sea under the stars, Gather your valor to overcome your vexations, Let your head find a home amongst the clouds, And touch down back to reality Reimagine love in the way only cherished books can show... Let the truth prevail, for in veritas is there true valor... The time had come, we had waited long enough. The songs we swore not to sing now rang Through every crack, every crevice, no longer hidden away. These songs, now written and displayed, no longer quiver In fear of being forgotten and forsaken. For all those singers who silenced their voices And the bards who dare no more to legends bear. A collection of poems to help you along the way.....
