My Colour is Love

When the second wave of the pandemic hit the world it spared no one and shook the very foundation of life. To deal with these difficult times Jhelum turned to writing poems—poetry that kept her flame of hope alive. The wail of ambulances kept her awake all night. She used those traumatic waking hours to compose her poems and then sent it out as messages of comfort to friends who were feeling low. And also to those feeling high. This endeavour gave her immense satisfaction and joy. The topics of these poems are often meditative always compassionate sometimes quirky and fun and sometimes ruminations on life as it happened around her. My Colour is Love holds within its pages a selection of these hope-filled verses. The poems in My Colour is Love are like a warm hug on a tense day. Drops of hope in a difficult moment. Each of the 81 poems comes soaked in positive energy promising to leave the reader with a distinct feeling of joy. - Nandini Bhalla editor & digital editor Cosmopolitan Harper’s Bazaar & Brides Today
