Publisher's Synopsis
- After the Fall of a Cloud brings out the poet's longing for a lost time while living inside a distorted reality shaped by solitude, dreams, childhood memories, and rain. These poems highlight the journey in time and sometimes beyond time. The concept of death does not appear to be the end of everything but as a new beginning. The belief that understanding the past determines our ability to understand the present is deeply entrenched in the volume's core. Crafted with an undertone of darkness, this collection of poems brings together varied colours of the seasons and nature to the simplicity of life amid all its complexities.
