Islye  (Hindi, Paperback, Nikunj Iti Maheshwari)

Islye is a collection of poems written by the author. These poems don’t have one umbrella theme, as they are heavily derived from the author’s personal stories, his ideologies and the belief system he has grown up with. Islye attempts to reason with the unreasonable, tries to find a safe space to express author’s emotions, and is reflective of many people who have been a part of the author’s life. Sometimes these poems will take you into a world that seems unfathomable, and sometimes they will make you feel at home. Sometimes you may feel a bit disconcerted, sometimes you will want to absorb every single word, feeling and emotion. All in all, Islye is a simple expression of complexities, that arise not just from your beliefs but how you choose to live with them. The beliefs that lead to many contradictions that one feels about love, politics or relations. The author has tried to combine all of this in a few poems, and has created Islye.
