The Dialogue of Yesterday
₹200.00My first collection of Poems titled “The Silence… Between Two Words” sees the profundity of darkness and banality of light between two pre-destined, immutable points called Life and Death. The characters, nay. Beings of my soul now clamour for space as has been their due under the Sun and the lap of Mother Earth. Being a liberal father, I have but to respect their sensibilities in the present Anthology. During the course of dialogue, they have questioned, interrogated, appropriated, negated and denied each and every on their way, the Established Canonical Text of yesteryears dictating thereby the discourse of present in particular to find out the kernel of truth and falsehood. They have assured in crystal clear premises and hyperboles to push me to the edge and ask the subtle differences between Creator and Created. The density and depth of my little understanding of life provokes me to seek the root of our existence, the dialectics of hope and despair, anguish and ecstasy. With utmost humility, my submission is that a dialogue of yore continues with singular vigour and vibrancy to the present moment when you read this foreword. A dialogue is ensued not to find out The Ultimate Reality, but to churn out alternative realities. I dedicate this book to the critically objective scrutiny and wisdom of my readers.

The Digital Upanishad
₹310.00The Digital Upanishad is part of a necessary tradition of modern spiritual writing: texts that do not flee the world but light it up; texts that do not curse the age but summon it to awareness. These poems are not answers to be ingested. They are pauses to be practiced. They are invitations to reclaim a deeper literacy-the literacy of attention, of presence, of interiority-in a civilization that is adept at distraction. In the act of reading these poems, one may feel disturbed. That is their gift. For what disturbs our sleep may also awaken our sight. What interrupts our scrolling may restore our seeing. What questions our speed may return us to the slow, difficult, luminous labor of becoming human. May this book be read not in haste, but in intervals. May it be entered not as content, but as a companion. And may the silence between its lines teach us again how to hear ourselves in a world that never stops talking.

The Divine Solitude
₹350.00The Divine Solitudeis the English transcreation of “Aparthiba Nirjanata” by Dr. Harishchandra Behera, a celebrated voice in Odia poetry whose work moves effortlessly between myth and lived reality, devotion and dissent, intimacy and vastness. Translating these poems has been less an act of linguistic transfer and more a journey of listening-listening to silences, pauses, symbols, and the emotional undertow that carries the poem beyond words.
The poems gathered here inhabit a space where the earthly and the divine overlap: rivers remember motherhood, boats become lives, feet turn into lotuses, and solitude itself acquires a sacred resonance. Mythological figures-Rama, Ahalya, Vishwamitra, the ferryman, the flute of the Kadamba grove-are not distant icons but breathing presences, entering daily life, desire, doubt, and ethical questioning. This poetry does not merely retell myth; it interrogates it, softens it, humanizes it.

The India Grandpa Has Never Seen
₹250.00The India Grandpa Has Never Seen is the translation of the poet’s Jeje Dekhinathiba Bharat which won him the prestigious Sarala Award. Rich in romantic essence that transports the readers into our pastoral origins in which modern India is deeply entrenched, this collection has finely crafted poems. The poet essays to explore through poetry the spirit of Mother India that reminds its children of the core values for which the geo-political map stands as a mute testimony. The scheme of symbolism the poet adopts is intricate because of the ethnic quality he invests in the emotions through agrarian imagery. The rural rituals, customs and myths surrounding poverty in the countryside is peculiarly Indian. The portrait of India in terms of its emotions encompassing the quality of life and the degeneration of human values in the hands of a chosen few is awe-inspiring.

The Lone Man Near the Window
₹250.00This book, The Lone Man Near the Window, is like an identity to the experiences of a keen family person in his/her lonesome moments. It is not only about the poet’s life, lessons, thoughts rather an extension of you, me and all sensitive persons who in real face, feel and resemble such phases narrated in each individual poetry.This piece of art can’t be absorbed by an one go reading. Though it is adorned with very simple words yet has deep impacting topics orchestrated with word senses and harmony.The concept and the purpose of the book can’t be gulped down in a single reading. To understand the seamless process, one has to live each and every philosophy coated in words. The original book by revered Poet Dr. Bibhudatta Nayak is literally an experience manual which describes the tit bits of life tools. It enlists the ingredients and principles of life which make our lives sweet, sour, annoying, energetic, challenging, emotional, decisive, philosophical at times. Most of the experiences of daily chores in this mundane world have given a euphonious shape of distinct poetry in this book.

The Painted Voice
₹250.00The kaleidoscopic earth and sky saturated with colours, sounds and perfume, are packed into his capsule-like poems ever glittering, humming, exuding sweet fragrance. However, one can’t help noticing an elegiac tune thrumming at the heart of the poems, of some intimacy found and lost, some moments of togetherness gone with the wind, a longing for renewal of life in love beyond time and space. Many of the poems testify to an aching heart seeking the healing balm from the benign Nature. That is why, perhaps, the poet sings with birds, yet grieves at a falling one; smiles with budding blooms; grieves at the wilting ones; rejoices at a quiet dawn propping a young sun. He too longs to offer his life to the fire of love, to lose the self to win liberation. All these speak volumes for the mind and heart that shaped the poems. Some are earthy, some skyiee, heavenly and some are exquisite fusion of both.

The Red Woman
₹280.00These Poems are a Tribute, Ode and Stories of Womanhood, portraying Women’s complex lives in India as well as around the world. These are composed in diverse as well as specific poetic forms with modes of configuring female thoughts, feelings and experiences. Women themselves, as well as Female Trajectories and Historiography through the ages are known to have been purposefully, strategically and mindlessly marginalized in our largely Patriarchic societies. Their Voicelessness, Untold Stories need much wider audiences than ever before in our 21st Century. The World now claims to be more advanced, more knowledgeable and civilized than ever before. We are now reaching out to the sun, moon and stars in the galaxy, but ironically a very significant part of Humanity is still ignored and needs to be explored and understood much more. Women have been overtly and covertly traumatized, mutilated, raped, dishonoured, silenced, and humiliated for too long. These poems trace many female spaces and times of reprehensible acts as well as their stories of unassailable fortitude and courage, their spheres of positive effervescence to rise like the phoenix from the ashes, which continue to stimulate our world. These women-human-centric poems are beyond labels and categories, without any discrimination or borders. THE RED WOMAN promises to inspire and provoke us with echoes reverberating across the roof of the world with hopes and dreams of a better world of compassion and justice. An engaging must-read book for one and all.

The Seven Queens
₹400.00There is much in these stories that our modern mindsets will find hard to accept. But having struggled with this myself, I believe that these folktales are timeless for a reason; they hold a mirror to the one thing that has not changed over the centuries – human nature. These are stories of love and lust, greed and humility, patriotism and deceit, weakness and strength of character – everything that defines our lives as individuals and as communities. That’s why I believe they continue to be relevant.
They are also an integral part of the rich legacy of Sindhi culture that we began to lose when the Partition of the Indian sub-continent took place. Few Sindhis of my generation in India have grown up listening to these stories. For that reason alone, I believe they deserve to be resurrected

The Silence Between Two Words
₹180.00I am that perennial cursed self of ‘Vishwakarma’ who has not seen the ‘Vishnu Pratima’ he has sculpted. He might have, but has he had that ‘Inner Vision’ (antardrishti) to see the darkness of light, know the depth of Eternity. These profound questions beg no answers. There lies the hallowed mystique of these celestial metaphors.
I am that blessed Self of ‘Indradyumna’ to proclaim with the courage of humility that this temple of poems is not mine.
Poetry loses its poetic echo when the lap of the mother, nudity of the nude, oozing blood of the wound, angst of the anguish, innocence of the child, trembling lips of the beloved, the fragrance of the flower, the murmur of the bee, dew drops on the grass in an Autumn morning et al are defined in words. Should they be treated in such prosaic way? Can any Poet as such excepting The Great Poet theorize such Poetic concepts of sensibilities?

The Silent Flute
₹250.00‘The Silent Flute‘, a collection of poems in English, is the third transcreation by the author himself from his original Odia poetry collection ‘Nishabda Banshiswana’. The title of this collection is after its first long poem that depicts the divine love betweenKrishna, the eighth incarnation of god Vishnu and Radha, the goddess of love, compassion and devotion and the internal potency (hladin shakti) of Krishna; and the reason behindbreaking the flute by Krishna himself. The other poems of this collection, which also includes some poems on Corona, are of varied tastes and thoughts that may touch the hearts of poetry-lovers.

The Silent Verses
₹225.00This book, a collection of fifty-five love duets, is more than just poetry-it is a tender, soul-stirring dialogue between two lovers, echoing their unspoken desires, silent aches, and passionate union.
Each verse, delicately carved, is drenched in emotion-ranging from yearning and surrender to spiritual oneness. As I translated these stanzas, I found myself not just interpreting words, but breathing into them the rhythm of another language, while striving to preserve their original fragrance.
The lovers in these verses transcend time and tradition, defy norms, and dissolve boundaries. Their intimacy is woven not merely through the physical, but through the metaphysical-through moonlight, memory, fire, rivers, and silence. They speak to each other through sensations, through metaphors, and often, through silence louder than sound.
