Review


In "A Tapestry of Poems," the author explores distinct themes, including introspection, nostalgia, attachment, seriousness, and more.


The writing style of the author is simple yet evocative. Some poems will help readers introspect, allowing them to think about the topic for which the author crafted the poetry. The overall tone of the poetry collection in this book is connecting and driving to a nostalgic road.


Poems like "Writing to end each line with G" and "F Letter Poem" will reflect the creativity of the author's thought. Readers will find it amusing and enjoy the poem, finding similarity with the thought of playing with random topics to craft their version of the writing piece. 


Some poems may appear too personal for readers, which may deflect their attention towards the book.


Also, poems like "A Story Behind My Name" and "The Friends I Made When I Was Young" will help readers reflect on their journey. 


"The friends I made when young,

Stand beside me through thick and thin

They are my source of comfort and strength."


Most readers will relate to these lines from "The Friends I Made When I Was Young."

There is this poem, "So what would my diary say to me?" Readers who maintain their diaries will find motivation to restart if they stop penning down how they feel for some reason.


Here are a few lines: 


"My diary

From a corner in the closet

All sad and teary, would say to me

Where have you been?

We haven't met lately."


It made me realize I, too, should look back to my diary and write how I feel. To know the conversation between a diary and a human, readers have to read it in this book. I cannot spill the entire poem here.


Key Highlights:


  • Poems are straightforward, with no weighty words.

  • Readers may find a few poems connecting.

  • Some poems sound too personal, hence can swallow the reading experience.

  • Readers will also find poems with a nostalgic touch and introspection.

  • The creativity in choosing the poems in the last part of the book will surprise and amuse readers simultaneously.

  • The poems vary in size, but there are not many lengthy verses in the book. 


Readers new to the poem genre can start with this book for simple and symbolic verses, while advanced poetry readers will find a few poems monotonous in this book.

2024 Summed Up

Image
2024 was a year of gaining and losing. Hahaha, you would regard that every year is like that. What was exceptional in that year? No, my friend. When I say gaining and losing, I mean embracing goodness and losing negativity, holding myself and letting go of what did not work for me, and the significant thing is carrying the ideology of everything coming to me at the right time and place, be it buying new things, collaborating with people in life, or traveling places. With that, I am writing this blog to reflect upon my year 2024. It was challenging to cover 365 days in one post, so I resolved to put it in six words that would sum up the whole year.  ✨ Struggles - Though "struggles" are what keep life in place, I still wanted to use this word to sum up. Even after trying desperately to tick off one particular thing that did not work out as expected, I remember how different lessons I learned with each passing day and month. It was then that I realized I should be determined, no...

Book Name: The Colony Brats Author: Vineed P Menon Publisher: The Alcove Genre: Contemporary Fiction  Format: Paperback Print Length: 298 Rating: 4/5 The Colony Brats by Vineed P Menon is a contemporary fiction with a flair of action and drama taking readers on a journey of seeking justice against discrimination. Book Blurb On Amazon Hi, I’m Niv, though my parents named me Nivrutti Nandan Nedumpilly Nair—yeah, I know, what a ridiculous name. But trust me, the name is nothing compared to the ridiculousness of my life. And here’s why we call ourselves brats in Sawalpur, a town dominated by the cement plant: - As children of wage board workers, we faced injustice and weren’t allowed to enter the officers’ colony. But I had the guts to sneak into my girlfriend’s quarters—don’t ask why. - My best friend, Baiju, had the audacity to have an affair—sorry, a relationship—with the colony’s schoolteacher. - Our so-called ordinary life was filled with mischief, adventures, and escapades....
