दर्पण the Mirror
Book by Shivani Srivastava
Published by BookLeaf Publishing
दर्पण The Mirror में, शिवानी श्रीवास्तव ने एक ऐसा साहित्यिक शाहकार रचा है जो समय के परे होते हुए भी आज के समय में अत्यंत प्रासंगिक लगता है। अपनी अद्भुत सटीकता के साथ, वे उन भावनाओं और अनुभवों को पकड़ने में सफल होती हैं जो अक्सर शब्दों से परे होती हैं। अपनी लेखनी के माध्यम से, श्रीवास्तव न केवल हमारे सामूहिक आक्रोश और दर्द को व्यक्त करती हैं, बल्कि उस गहरे प्रेम और आशा को भी उजागर करती हैं जो हमें एक-दूसरे से जोड़ती है।
आज की इस अभूतपूर्व एकाकीपन और जुड़ाव की कमी से भरी दुनिया में, दर्पण The Mirror एक जीवनशक्ति की तरह उभरता है, जो कल्पनाओं और मानवता से भरपूर है।
श्रीवास्तव की वह क्षमता, जिससे वे अनकहे भावों को आवाज़ देती हैं और साधारण को उत्कृष्टता में बदल देती हैं, इस कृति को हमारे समय का एक महत्वपूर्ण साथी बनाती है। दर्पण The Mirror केवल एक किताब नहीं है—यह एक अनुभव है।
यह दुर्लभ है कि कोई रचना व्यक्तिगत और सार्वभौमिक के बीच ऐसा सहज पुल बना सके, लेकिन श्रीवास्तव ने इसे बड़ी खूबसूरती और सहजता से संभव कर दिखाया है। दर्पण The Mirror साहित्य की उस शक्ति का प्रमाण है जो हमें जोड़ने, प्रेरित करने और हमारे घावों को भरने का काम करती है।
Late Night Scribbles
Book by Ajabithi Sarma
Published by SGSH Publication
In Late Night Scribbles, Ajabithi Sarma crafts a collection of poetry that speaks directly to the soul, offering a profound exploration of the human condition. With stanzas that are as lush as they are intelligent, Sarma’s work marvels at the boundless possibilities of existence, leaving readers in awe of his poetic precision and emotional depth.
At its core, the collection embodies a philosophical hunger, delving into life’s uncertainties with a rare grace. Sarma’s original lines navigate the bewildering landscapes of modern existence, unraveling what it means to be human in an increasingly detached and inhumane world.
However, while Late Night Scribbles showcases moments of brilliance, it also reveals an author still in the process of mastering the craft. The verses, though often striking, sometimes lack the refinement that comes with experience and a deeper exploration of form and rhythm. Sarma’s potential is undeniable, but his journey as a poet seems just to be beginning.
Even so, Late Night Scribbles is a testament to the enduring power of words to inspire, console, and transform. Ajabithi Sarma reminds us of all that is possible, creating a space where art and philosophy meet to celebrate the essence of being alive. This is a book that, while imperfect, deserves to be savored, pondered, and revisited—a promising start from a poet who has much more to say.
