The Humour of Hard Hitting Reality

About the BookThis selection of poems weaves together delicate threads of the author's life experiences and his observations of the world around him. From the joyful hours of life in school, playful pranks pulled off during his favourite festival of colours, close encounters with his Aunt's endearing ragdoll cat every summer, to the haunting echoes of the twilight zones of war and destruction. Each verse resonates with a youthful, raw emotion of innocence and profound imagery. With an elegant blend of rhythm and rhyme, this collection of poems captures the essence of what it means to be actively alive, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and find joy in the beauty of language.About the Author Arsham Hirani is a student in grade 12 at The Cathedral and John Connon School, Mumbai.
