From rupture to rapture from agony to ecstasy from bleeding to healing love is the alchemy of revolution and transformation. It is a song a dance a celebration and a creation. It is not a unique subject but a subject so universal that it defines our very existence. In her debut collection of poems Shilpa does not attempt to define love as she believes that it is mysterious and mercurial. But having experienced the falling and rising herself this book is a catharsis of her emotions processed with a lot of love. The poems in this book reinforce that even though love is an uphill task it is intrinsic and beautiful and that every emotion it elicits – pain anguish anticipation joy and passion – is so worth living at least once in a lifetime. Shilpa makes you dive into them feel them and live them through her voyage. Her verses signify that pain is inevitable but combating it rising beyond it and upholding faith in love is certainly a choice. Through her sometimes heart-warming and sometimes heart-wrenching verses she urges you not just to heal yourself but also to rediscover your soul and its calling. The book conveys that love may or may not stay forever but it leaves a blessing that stays with you till eternity. Embrace it.
