Human beings are social animals, they don’t live in a vacuum.” This is the line that most of us have heard or read somewhere at some point and it is very true! The interactions we have with ourselves, the interactions we have with people around us, and the interactions of people with each other do affect us and thus we feel the arousal of various emotions within us. Mindful Musings & Peaceful Ponderings by Manali Desai is a collection of 50 poems and in this collection, each poem depicts an emotion, and how we feel its intensity.
The concept of the collection is very unique and thus makes it a very interesting read. The wordplay and the depiction of emotions in the very few words to make the reader connect with them was something where this book stands out for me.
This was my second book by the author, I have read Love (Try) Angle by her before which was a contemporary romance, and now this poetry collection, and it feels like Manali Desai is becoming my new comfort author now! With easy language and simple words, she can make the readers comfortable while reading making them go through an abundance of emotions. In this collection, some poems will make you think about yourself, your actions, and your relations again and will stir you to wonder about them for a long time! Some of the poems feel like home, and give the same feeling you get when you go there after a long time! Some feel like that tea in winter and some that thorn in the way that gets stuck to you in your leg. And that is the range of emotions that I felt while reading.
If you are looking forward to reading poetry, you should check it out. I will highly recommend it. I would give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
It was provided with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review by the author.
