“Finding Myself”...

Where I never thought I would find Me…

A Debute anthology of poems by Sumi Anirudhan...

ഈ പുസ്തകം ഒരു സ്ത്രീയുടെ ജൈത്ര യാത്രയാണു.... ആ യാത്രയിൽ അവളുടെവൈകാരിക നിമിഷങ്ങളായ പ്രണയത്തേയും, വിരഹത്തേയും, വേദനയേയും, അവളുടെസ്വപ്നങ്ങളേയും, പ്രതീക്ഷകളേയുമെല്ലാം കോർത്തിണക്കി എഴുതപ്പെട്ടിരിക്കുന്നകവിതകളാണു സുമി വായനക്കാർക്കായി കാഴ്ചവെക്കുന്നത്‌ ....

ഒരു പക്ഷേ വായനക്കാരുടെ ജീവിതത്തിന്റെ ഏതെങ്കിലും ഏടുകളിൽ സുമിയുടെഅനുഭവങ്ങൾ നിങ്ങളുടേയും അനുഭവങ്ങളായിരിക്കാം .... ആ കണ്ടെത്തുലുകൾതന്നെയാണു "Finding Myself “ എന്ന പുസ്തകത്തിന്റെ ഇതിവൃത്തം.

Sumi has attempted to portray the emotional journey of a woman  through her poems. Poet narrates that all these transformations molded her own existence to find her true self. 

As Sumi wrote,

“The Gray in my hair doesn’t stop me from dreaming...”

Let each and every being find themselves; age should never stop one from dreaming and achieving it. 

I can assure you that this book is going to inspire lots of people who buried their dreams for the sake of their own excuses. If you have the courage and passion to achieve your dreams, everything will fall in place. Please mind that the path to it isn’t easy. It needs lots of hard work and dedication. I know Sumi had such a tough time through out her journey to accomplish her dream. Support of her family, friends and her mentor Nan Witicomb back boned her to attach a golden feather to her crown of achievements.

I can’t sign off my write up without appreciating Anish Nair’s amazing book cover design. His photography gave the life to the book “Finding Myself “. Congrats Anish Nair and Sai Saraswathi, the Girl behind the scenes.

Hereby penning my favorite poem from Sum’s collection;

Never kiss 

lips which are asleep,

watch them in silence....

When they are about to tell you 

they love you,

seal them gently...

greatest understanding of Love 

often happens in silence...

“YES!!!…. Greatest understanding of LOVE happens in SILENCE…”
