Book Review – KUCH TERI KUCH MERI. Preeti Daksh

                                        
                                                                
                                      
Kuch Teri Kuch Meri’ is a soulful collection of some of the most achingly sweet poetries carved out from an equally intense, lovable debutante Poet Preeti Daksh. The book takes you on an emotional roller coaster of a journey of the Poet as well as highlights insightfully the pitfalls and bane of the society. The book is unputdownable and leaves you asking for more. Even after oscillating amid a range of emotions, the book stays with you for a long time and nudges your conscience now and then with its essence that becomes your soul.

‘Chand se aa Jao Papa’ is the masterpiece of the book and it won’t be an exaggeration to say this poem just stirs your heart, juggles the mind and you are hard pressed to choke back tears. This one melts you absolutely. ‘Chitti Papa Ke Naam’ and ‘Meri Beti’ stops the time and drench your core with tender love and longings. ‘Tumhari Yaadein’, ‘Tum Bin’, ‘Ek Behen ki ashish’ portray the pangs of separation while ‘Behne’, ‘Mere Papa’ reflect the Poet’s gratefulness towards her relations.

The rebel’s angst against age old customs and hypocrisy of the society pours out in ‘Vrindavan ki Vidhva’, ‘Sita ka Vyatha’, ‘Pagal Ladki’, ‘Boot Polish’ and ‘Atankwaad’ amongst others. These verses echo the Poets’ extreme sense of conscience which is pained at the charade of our ancient customs and beliefs.

Like the icing on the cake, don’t miss the Haikus and Taankas. these are little gems, crafted with finesse and technical splendour and form the last few pages of the book.

Here is a book from a true blue rockstar who has led her life staring at the hardships and overriding the storms and sliced her path to victory. It’s a tribute to life in all forms and no amount of encomiums and tribute is enough to hail the Poet. The least we can do is buy the book and flip through the pages , caress the words from the world of a  dainty pretty lady, who stands tall with sheer genius of her poems.

Go. Grab one! Know What  Life is!
