“(Poetry) It’s so eternal. As long as there are people, they can remember words and combinations of words. Nothing else can survive a holocaust, but poetry and songs.” — Jim Morrison
The words of legendary Doors frontman Jim Morrison ring true to this day. Poetry is a way of exploring complex themes and experiences in a succinct & equivocal way, open to interpretation, exploratory, and giving wings to the imagination.
You might read a poem about something and relate to it in a different way despite the writer writing it to mean something else. That’s the beauty of poetry, it’s subjective and opens all the doors to the imagination. The meaning of each poem hits home to each reader in a different way.
I started writing poetry because I wanted to express myself and put words to my experiences. I wasn’t the best at writing long form but poetry was something I gravitated to after reading Jim Morrison’s work. My love of music and love of writing resulted in poetry & songs, where I would just ink down verses that explained and explored my experiences in my teens and early twenties.
The themes range from medieval courtyards, the ’30s prohibition era & the blues, travels across India and abroad, experimenting with psychedelics & other drugs, the nights roaming the streets of my hometown city of Bombay, music that’s had an impact on me through the years, Indian culture & subculture, my nostalgic college years & all the whiskey and cigarette-drenched nights, spirituality, love, sex & heartache, life lived a bit on the edge, & all the books, music, films, art and experiences & influences that made for the base of the book to make it an interesting & unique read for people around the world.
India is spiritual country, and has a certain pervading mysticism & romanticism about it. The way I experienced India in my lifetime, is also depicted in the book. India is a country that has a lot of history and culture. And in my teens and early twenties it was a melting pot of diverse culture, experiences, people, and life which is very different from life in other countries, which I’ve tried to explain in the book.
If you want to know more about India through my eyes, in the form of poetry, my book does a fair job in exploring Indian culture & subculture in the form of verses that are open to interpretation. If you’re also inquisitive about psychedelics, the poems about those experiences are also described in high-definition detail, just like the trips.
The book weaves its way through a plethora of topics and themes that are sure to make for an engaging and compelling read. It’s a collection of poems that are abstract and unique and written in a new-age style.
The Indian Night — is my take on poetry in my own niche style. It’s a collection of poems I scribbled down in notebooks over the past 5 or 6 years. It’s very different from conventional poetry & I hope that if you pick it up it makes for a read that you dig, and that it leaves a lasting impression on you & makes you feel, question, think, and explore.
Here’s the blurb
“A collection of poems written in a unique, new age style that unravel a journey through youth lived a bit on the edge and experiences like those with psychedelics & travels across India uncovering the unerring beauty of Indian shorelines, mountain ranges, valleys & rivers & the (NH) national highways and Indian culture & sub culture through experiences where music, drugs, freedom & the Indian night weave their mystical reverberations on a young man exploring what lies beyond the usual, breaking through the unknown into the breach & horizon where the cosmos guide him magnetically to ignite & find his soul. The Indian Night is a poetry book like no other.”
