Baazgasht
A bouquet of 18 poems born from raw scribbles and journaled heartbreak to a bilingual Hindi–English poetry book that traces the author's journey through unrequited love, longing, loss, and the quiet return to oneself.
Baazgasht means homecoming: a gentle return to breath after silence, to peace after ache, to the self after love goes unanswered.
For anyone who has loved without being chosen, or stood between surrender and self-respect, this book becomes a soft companion — not to help you move on, but to help you move through.

TESTIMONIALS
Simple, delicate and moving
If one reads the words mindfully, they would actually feel the journey through the 7 stages of Love. If one has actually lived and breathed the process of an unrequited love, the limerence, rumination and finally, purification, they'd feel every bit of it through these verses.

महफ़िल में तेरी हम ना रहे तो..
Ek tarfa pyar, love not returned, heart break, depth in simplicity. To be read slowly and soaked in. Like Channa Mereya on steroids!
