Poetry is the mist tying our human souls together in intricate, compelling knots of life (and lies). ‘unbosoming’ is the maiden attempt of Samridhi to unravel these knots while struggling to trap the waves of self-loathing, anger, doubt and fear inside the tip of her pen every night. For it’s always better to brandish a pen than a knife. This book is about the webs we spin and trip over, again and again, only to smile for others the next morning and crumble within ourselves again at night. ‘unbosoming’ is the secret child of such spirals, scribbled over for months. It is the journey of the pleasure of self-abuse and acceptance and redemption and the faint knowledge of hope.

- Description:
Dear reader, I wrote this book for the ones who feel everything too deeply. The rare souls who still listen to their hearts and believe in love. The ones who don’t hurt others just because they’re in pain. The ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves and carry kindness within. The ones who overthink, over-invest in people and over-love, always. This book is an ocean full of feelings, so if at any point, you feel like you’re drowning, take a moment to remind yourself that it’s a privilege to feel emotions as intensely as you do. Some people are so disconnected from their hearts that they don’t allow themselves to feel anything at all. That being said, I wish you a happy reading. This book will make you cry. Love, Rithvik
The Darkness is Vanishing
- Author Name:
Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank'
- Book Type:

- Description:
The poems of Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank" represent innate, passionate ramifications and poetic mystification for readers. While they may include hymns and religious instructions, what stands out is the sentimental piety in the poems offered within this collection. As a poet, Nishank surveys possibilities, comparing them to actualities, facts, theories, alternatives, and ideals, weighing them together. Thus, his work is both insightful and foresightful, providing a sense of life’s worth. Remarkably, these poems are not complex; they are simple and pliable. The doctrines and practices they endorse are not new or recent but align with established norms. The poems that emerge from darkness invigorate the spirit, making our hearts dance and enveloping us in a mystical softness, enchanting enough to soothe distressed feelings while instilling a sense of truth, clarity, and refinement. Nishank conjures images of everyday, affable life, depicting socially intellectual and passionate men who dance, croon, and fall yet rise again—shortly devastated but soon resilient. His poems are both popular and distinctly contemplative. Hidden behind his voice lies every man; if you wish to understand his character, let the doors of the heart open and allow them to speak. *** The ardor for humankind may pulse in every throb of my heart; let there be a beautiful person within me. My only desire in this life is to die for my country, with my life as an emblem for humanity. *** Like worms clothing the wheat, jealousy, like termites, hollow out the preposterous. *** To erase darkness, those who burn like torches do so even in adverse torrents; they never extinguish. *** Happiness resides in the present, not in the future; it rests in the depths of the mind. —From this collection.

Ocean in a Drop - Ghalib Decoded
- Author Name:
Mirza Ghalib
- Book Type:

- Description:
"Ghalib was a poet who mocked hardship, a philosopher who dared to argue with God, and a man who turned disappointment into an art form. Though often wrapped in layers of difficult language and intricate thought, at the heart of his vast poetic “ocean” lies a single, luminous “drop” - his deeply human individuality. He was the ultimate maverick: urbane, ironic, and restlessly modern, forever questioning, forever unsettled. Ocean in a Drop draws back the curtain on Urdu’s greatest genius. Stripping away academic clutter, this book approaches Ghalib through his most iconic she’rs, revealing the man behind the mystique. You will discover: ~ The Persona: The ego, the wit, and the “shroudless” independence of a 19th-century rebel. ~ The Wound: How he transformed neglect and betrayal into a mark of distinction. ~ The Edge: His playful yet profound walk along the borders of faith, existence, and the void. This is not a textbook. It is a conversation - intimate, unguarded - with a man who understood that life is chaotic, and that humour is often its only redemption. Whether you have long admired him or are meeting him for the first time, this is Ghalib as he was meant to be known: sharp, soulful, and unmistakably his own."

Ramesh Pokhriyal 'Nishank'
- Book Type:

- Description:
Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal "Nishank", like all romantic poets, is generally a poet who is strong-willed and intelligent and possesses an unusually subtle mind. While going through his poetry and nature poetry, we see nature sympathetically with unusual unreputable emotional responses. Moreover, it stands in sharp contrast to rationalistic moods. Nishank is fond of personifying nature and is desirous of associating with the beauteous forms of the world that coexist with the laws and order of the universe. When Nishank fuses scientific and religious notions, he proposes a metaphysical idea adapted to the cosmos' natural design. Hence, through this choicest collection of his poems, Nishank agrees with the universal phenomenon that nature provides an influence which spontaneously refines and purifies the soul of the human generation. A "must-read" collection of representative poems of Shri Nishank.

"Unbosoming" is a collection of emotional and heartfelt poems that explore themes of love, loss, and healing. The author's honest and raw portrayal of her personal experiences makes the poems deeply moving and relatable. The book is a great read for anyone who loves poetry and is looking for inspiration and solace.
Unbosoming is Samridhi's debut poetry collection, written entirely at night — those hours when the performance of the day ends and the mind stops pretending. These poems do not offer comfort or resolution; they document the циклical nature of internal collapse: smiling through mornings, crumbling through evenings, waking to repeat. The book's central metaphor — webs we spin and trip over — captures the way our own thoughts ensnare us, night after night.
Samridhi positions the pen as an alternative to self-destruction, a way to channel self-loathing, anger, doubt, and fear onto the page before they turn inward. The title itself, unbosoming, suggests confession, unburdening, the act of speaking what has been held too close to the chest. For readers who recognize the gap between the face they show the world and the voice that speaks only in private, this collection offers a rare mirror — unflinching, nocturnal, and deeply familiar.
What kind of reading experience will Unbosoming give me?
This collection feels like reading someone's private journal written in the hours when sleep won't come. The tone is raw, unfiltered, and cyclical — poems return again and again to the same emotional traps without pretending to escape them. The pace is confessional and intimate, each poem a small unburdening. It rewards readers who value honesty over consolation, who recognize the exhaustion of performing wellness while struggling internally. You finish the book feeling less alone in your night thoughts.
Who is this book best suited for, and what does it expect of its reader?
- Readers familiar with their own cycles of self-doubt, anger, or performance fatigue
- Young adults navigating the gap between social expectation and internal reality
- Those who find solace in confessional poetry rather than motivational verse
- Anyone who has ever written at night to stop thoughts from turning destructive
The book expects you to meet it without judgment, to sit with discomfort rather than skip past it.
What is the cultural significance of mental health poetry to young Indian readers today?
In a culture where emotional struggle is often privatized or dismissed, poetry like Unbosoming creates a rare public space for acknowledging what happens behind closed doors. For young Indians raised to prioritize family reputation and social performance, confessional verse validates the exhaustion of that double life. It counters the pressure to always be resilient, always grateful. As mental health conversations slowly enter mainstream Indian discourse, these poems serve as early, honest testimonies.
What makes Samridhi's approach to these themes distinctive?
Samridhi does not frame her poems as recovery narratives or self-help affirmations. She writes from inside the loop — the nightly return to the same fears, the morning mask, the evening collapse — without pretending to have broken it. The metaphor of webs we spin and trip over repeatedly captures this cyclical honesty. Her decision to position the pen as an alternative to more destructive outlets gives the collection a grounded urgency. This is not poetry about healing; it is poetry as a survival tactic.
What does Unbosoming leave the reader with after finishing it?
The book does not offer closure or transformation, and that refusal is its most lasting gift. You finish it with a clearer understanding that internal struggle is not something to be solved but something to be lived with, night after night. It validates the reader's own cycles of doubt and performance fatigue. Long after reading, the image of spinning webs and tripping over them lingers — a reminder that our minds often trap us, and that writing those traps down is one way to survive them.
