The poems in “GOLDEN HAZE” are inspired by both personal experiences and observations of the world around me. Themes of nature, love, introspection, sudden emotions and the passage of time are prevalent throughout the book. Each poem is a snapshot of a moment, a thought, or a feeling, captured in words. I drew inspiration from the serene landscapes of Aglar Pattan, as well as the complexities of human emotions, and of course, my grandfather’s influence is woven throughout the collection. His encouragement to keep writing, no matter what, has been a constant source of strength for me, she adds.
The book is a collection of 100 poem’s, the collection of soulful poetry and feelings which gives a soothing touch to all unrested minds, which i completed in one year.
