Review:
• The moon is the universe’s way of telling us,
That phases and changes are beautiful too,
One doesn’t always have to shine the brightest to be relevant.
That wholeness doesn’t last,
And life motors through the body of crescent.•

From skin to sleep, flowers to dawn, sarees to jeans, notifications to names and many more. It has poems about everyday objects and happenings around us. How each of them inspires us, how they teach a lesson.

My favourite poems from the book are Sunshine, moon, bookshelf, Onion, weddings, 90’s kid, clouds and keys. As rightly said in the blurb, once you have read them, you will begin to see meaning I’m the most mundane. It’s a book for the beginners or the one’s who enjoys reading light poems. Not to forget a beautiful cover and title. A good book.
