About Book

• Title : In Four Billion Years
• Language : english
• Genre : poetry

A collection of 50 poems that feels like a nosedive into an ocean of all kinds of love- lived, unrequited, spiritual, sensual, romantic familial, and self (or the lack of it). There are poems that speak of a love so stubborn that it tricks death to reunite with a lover in the most myriad ways. There are poems that depict the complete surrender of a lover. In some poems, the divine and the sensuous are merged with such sincere conviction it makes you forget where love ends and God begins. There are poems that depict the mundanity of familiar love and those that depict the magnetic pull of forbidden love. The poet indulges in contemporary references, astronomical metaphors, revered artists, and timeless romances of Krishna and Mira, sometimes within the same poem, making you traverse across time, myths, and geographies. The poems are an unapologetic and unabashed expression of love that is simultaneously raw and gentle; selfish and magnanimous; fleeting and timeless. The poet adds layers of amusement through carefully crafted titles and footnotes (where added) that become bittersweet reminders of lovers, family, girlfriends, and above all, love.
