    About this ebook

    A collection of poems written on myriad themes by the writer. The essence of the poems is her involvement, observation of life and an effusive innocence. Most of the poems are bound by meter and rhyme but the poet has successfully dabbled in free verse as well.
    A little something
    About the poems within
    Or the writer
    With whom you will converse.
    I have heard that
    Being honest is
    One of the most difficult things you would ever do.
    Being candid,
    Unfortunately, is a given
    When you start penning poetry.
    So here is a little part of my soul
    That I penned down
    Over some years.
    Things I saw,
    Things I heard
    Things I felt
    Neatly wrapped up
    Inside a book spine
    Because honestly,
    There is nothing better than a book.

    Surabhi Katyal

    Surabhi Katyal is an 18 year old who is studying Liberal Arts at Ashoka University. She claims that the poet within her is very erratic and presents itself at very odd places and times. She is equally comfortable as a writer in her mother tongue Hindi and has been published a few times for the same. A bibliophile, she usually spends her time scouring Hindi poetry and general fantasy, apart from the time she devotes in being engrossed by their fictitious fan-written adaptations.

      Perfection

      Jun 9, 2020

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when
