This collection of poems,'Odes to the Ordinary', journeys through myth, philosophy, nature, and the human condition. Drawing from Indian folklore, spiritual traditions, and universal emotions, it explores fear, faith, fate, and the fragile beauty of life. From the terrifying Odiyan of Kerala’s nights to the serene Bhikshu walking at dawn, from the sacred flow of the Ganga to the quiet truths of graveyards, each poem reflects on existence with depth and clarity. Themes of compassion, mortality, identity, and cosmic justice weave through the verses, offering readers a meditation on what it means to live, love, suffer, and transcend.
