Zindagi – In 100 Heartbeats

Description

‘Zindagi’ – In 100 Heartbeats is a collection of 100 poems that take you through the complete journey of life, from the very first cry at birth to the final moments of goodbye.
The book is divided into four stages of life: Childhood, Adolescence, Adulthood, and the Twilight Years. Each poem is like a heartbeat, capturing an emotion, a memory, or a turning point. Some poems will make you smile with memories of your school days, first friendships, and dreams. Others will touch your heart with stories of love, loss, and growing older.
Written in a simple, heartfelt style, these poems speak about moments we all experience- innocent beginnings, the excitement of growing up, the struggles of responsibilities, and the peace (or pain) that comes with age. Every reader will find a piece of their own life hidden in these words.
‘Zindagi’ – In 100 Heartbeats is not just about reading poetry, it is about feeling it. It is about looking back, cherishing the present, and finding hope for the future. Whether you read it all at once or one poem at a time, this book will stay with you long after you close it.
