Overview

The collection has 42 poems on different topics and subjects. The book starts with the address of the poet to his own self and gets the reader ready for giving the readers as if a preparatory lesson for experiencing his poetry in their own life. Many of the poems of Goutam Jena are more of a confessional statement. Sometime his excess of obsession with certain topics makes him biased and full of eulogy. But he has a tremendous skill of resolution in the poem comprising different views. The poet's declaration of his personality is in the following words in his poem; 'To Me' ""I have never been in advertisements. Thrown into the dustbin I wait for someone to pick me up Considering me as a valuable Then I am precious. If I am thrown as a piece of glass I lie as a piece of glass only. If you mix up diamond with pieces of glass Who has the skill to separate it off! Only a perfect eye can find the difference That it is of worth."" The above statement speaks of what the poet is. The poet wants to create a different world of his own where his words shall be his own. The topics chosen by the poet, e.g. Lockdown, In search of Happiness, India that is India, Love for Country, Traitor etc. are definitely from a wide canvas which does not restrict the poems to a specific time period. Rather for the poet the poetic world is an extraction of events from the huge field of time just to understand the reason behind a great chain of events.
