Hide and Seek

Nikhil Parekh

This book tingles every living being's imagination to fantasize beyond the ordinary. Look at all those meaningful tid-bits around us which are a book themselves.

 

This book is complete with over a 600 pages and has more than 500 poems. However only 43 poems from the entire collection have been uploaded here at Authonomy.com .

Parekh's earliest collection of verse. Written in unparallelled fervor, this collection is a delectable blend of topics from 'love' to 'death', probing into countless infinitesimal aspects of existence which make a significant impact to it. The beauty of this compendium lies in its magical brevity at places and in the most mundane things of life around us brought to the fore like a magicians wand, in brilliant poetic flair by Parekh. Contains poems on topics impossible for one to envisage that a poem could be written about such an inconspicuous little thing--but Parekh evolves bountiful rhyme from the word go and coalesces vivacious color in the little tid-bits of the chapter called life to optimum effect. A must read for all those who find color, charm and significance in even the smallest things of life and are enthused by even the most mercurial bit of stray paper loitering around. A poetic tribute to the ordinary, projecting its colorful extraordinary bit to the planet with raw panache.

Read two chapters and found it an interesting story. I liked the past merging into the present scenario.

Hi Nikhil,

First of all, I'm astonished at your output - how often do you write? I'm struggling to get down a chapter a week these days. You've put some amount of work on here. I didn't know that Authonomy was the place for poetry but I reckon people are entitled to post whatever they like and am glad to take a peek at your work. I had it shelved for a good long while after being intrigued by your pitch. I have to say that poetry has never been quite my thing but there is a great spectrum of different themes and topics here. But I was most tickled and impressed by Agony In Bathroom - possibly appealing to my less mature tastes, but I liked the idea of spinning poetry out of a visit to the smallest room the night after some curry action!

All the best with your work, Pat
