Aarav Arora is a poet who finds meaning in tenderness, beauty, and the quiet emotions that often go unspoken. A student of Computer Science engineering, he turns to poetry as a way of giving voice to the feelings that live between memory, nature, and love.
He began writing at the age of fourteen, inspired by the beauty of the natural world and the complexity of human emotion. Over time, his poetry deepened into an exploration of romance, where love became both muse and language.
A much of his inspiration comes from a love (his girlfriend he met at age seventeen) that transformed the way he saw the world, teaching him to find poetry in even the smallest moments. In the Shade of Hibiscus Love is his most intimate expression—a collection born from devotion, reflection, and the desire to turn feeling into something lasting.
Each poem in this collection carries a part of his heart, while the handmade illustrations woven throughout the book offer a glimpse into his creative spirit beyond words. Through his writing, Aarav hopes to leave readers with warmth, hope, and the quiet beauty of love in bloom.
