Butterflies and Peppermint

Description

about the  book

“I wanted it to be a relaxing yet stimulating read. This book is more about the self than the outside world. it explores our various moods; the good, the bad and the ugly. Reminding us that we are beautiful in all of it and and telling us that it is okay to feel whatever you are feeling. I’ve written the poetry as it came and enfolded itself in my life. And have structured the book in a way so that people can relate with themselves and their emotions. It doesn’t have a fixed approach to it, because that is exactly how life is. I really wanted to include paintings and sketches this time, because colour adds a lot of depth and beauty to this entire project. I sincerely hope you love it, me and the artists have worked hard to deliver something; that reminds you of a simpler time, and becomes your friend.

about the author

I am a 26 years old doctor, born and brought up in Mumbai. My parents Dr Kiran and Dr Nivedita Katkar are both extremely supportive and have helped me pursue my other aspirations. I love writing, and prefer music over everything else. Open minded and always wanting to know more about various subjects and things that interest me. This is my third book of poems and I definitely can’t choose a favourite between them (pssst it’s this one). Currently I am writing songs, original lyrics and books, waiting for my admission into post graduation for medical. During covid I gravitated towards making culminations of art and poetry and my books are a way of doing the same. I love a lot of bands and series and takes inspiration from them paying an ode to them in this as well. I sincerely hope, this book feels like what I intended it to ‘leisurely walk through an art gallery’.
