Trains in a Bath Tub

Description

This small collection of poetry is brought to you by Literoma. It is whimsical and chaotic. It presents all the idiosyncrasies of a young adult, young enough to remember the pain of her adolescent heartaches, yet old enough to have encountered the real heartbreaks life has to offer. It explores the whirlwind of feelings, from trying to alienate your parents, all through yearning for them in lonely hostel rooms. It walks through all the avenues of growing into someone who hopes to be finally free from her ghosts, her bullies, and is only starting to notice the unfairness and magic that is in this world.

About the book

“I am a 23 year old, living in Kolkata. I was introduced to the world of poetry by my maternal grandfather, the passion for which was then nurtured by my father, and myself. I am constantly amazed by pink and blue skies, people on metro rides and old town roads. I am currently pursuing Ph. D at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.
I have always been drawn to great song-writing and my favourite lyricists of all time are Rabindranath Tagore, Joni Mitchell and Taylor Swift. I would like to think that I have a very heavy influence of their craft and style in my own work.
I am hopeful that people across all ages, especially those who are close to mine will relate to my poetry. I hope they get reminded of the first real heartbreak they ever had, how devastating it is to lose a loved one forever, and how in our own wondrous ways, we are thriving and trying to make the world a little better.”
