Phoenix of My Affection

This book is a series of feelings events and emotions personified into words and sentences. It explores the themes of love betrayal revenge hurt and forbidden feelings. Each theme is presented as a yin-yang; love would be about the purity in the feeling but also the dreadful pain it brings. Betrayal then embarks on the treachery and the lesson it taught us. Revenge unveils the cycle of agony but also how our emotions take control of our actions. Hurt parades the sensation of despair and evaluates the emotional journey of the protagonist. The forbidden feelings arise from prying parents and society that creates an adventurous base of passion. The book is in honour of the author’s late grandfather Bhushan Kumar Uppal. The 70 poems in the book are symbolic of the 70 extraordinary years he spent with the author and her family.
