About the Book

Nakshatrer Jama captures the rebirth of the poet's spirit, weaving themes of love, desire, and vulnerability into a vivid tapestry of emotions.

• The poet pays homage to protest poetry while safeguarding the dual essence of love—its radiance and shadows.
• Metaphorically, the lover in the poems journeys from realism to surrealism, wrapped in the "starry robe," embodying human flaws, virtues, and aspirations.
• Love is likened to a mountain spring, ageless and flowing, as the poet seeks the lost buttons of the cosmic attire, tracing paths of passion and dreams.
• The verses reflect a delicate balance of rebellion and tenderness, offering a profound exploration of love's depth and intricacies.
