The Heroes Of Hope

Heroes of Hope is a collection of twenty-seven poems, sub-categorized into The Ugly Days and The Beautiful Days. The Ugly Days' category centres on the agony of human and natural disaster suffered by the people through massive corruption, natural mishaps, dangerous migrant journeys, the new order of mundane actualities over and above the conservative and religious norms; while The Beautiful Days centres on the choice to stay happy and hopeful in spite of the aforementioned disasters. The poems are written with a distinct vision and voice and with an uncommon creation of imageries whose mental pictures are carried along with us after reading every single line. Perhaps, what is unique in this collection is the poet's ability to play with words in a very meaningful and serious ways, creating humour out of obscurity, yet making the message poignant.
