Sushant's Updates

"Since 2020, my appreciation for Hindi literature, especially modern Hindi poetry, has deepened significantly. Along this literary journey, I had the pleasure of exploring "Mujhe Pukaarti Hui Pukaar," a mesmerizing collection of poems by Sushant Saurabh. As Shri Ramdhari Singh Dinkar once said, “Kavita shabd nahi, shanti hai; kolahal nahi, moun hai”—poetry is not just words, but a quiet refuge from the chaos of the mind. True to this sentiment, "Mujhe Pukaarti Hui Pukaar" captures the essence of poetry’s tranquillity, weaving emotions into verses that resonate deeply, leaving a lasting impression on the reader.

"Mujhe Pukaarti Hui Pukaar" by Sushant Saurabh is a collection of 40 poems that deeply explore life, existence, and the human condition. This poetry collection offers a deeply introspective journey, structured into four sections that mirror different phases. The first section delves into self-discovery, exploring identity, conscience, and existential dilemmas. It sets the stage for the second section, which tackles inner and external conflicts, including moral ambiguity and opposing forces. Moving outward, the third section reflects on societal dynamics, critiquing collective indifference, systemic injustice, and the clash between individuality and conformity. The final section brings a sense of hope, focusing on dreams, aspirations, and the resilience required to navigate life’s challenges. The poet seamlessly blends mythology, nature, and philosophy, creating a narrative that feels both personal and universal.

Beyond its structural innovation, the book challenges contemporary Hindi poetry by experimenting with surreal imagery, conversational tones, and open-ended narratives. Nature is not just a backdrop but an active participant in the poetic experience, embodying both solace and conflict. Themes of loneliness, mental health, and existential inquiry are woven throughout, prompting readers to reflect on their struggles. The poet’s fearless engagement with social critique, particularly in questioning collective morality and societal norms, adds depth to the collection.
Apart from the poems, the book's aesthetics are wonderful - the font' the page set-up and especially the intricate design inside every page.

By blending modern and traditional influences, the book sparks discussions on identity, mental well-being, and the evolving nature of poetry itself, making it a compelling and thought-provoking read."
