PRABHAT: Jeevan ek kavita hai aur bhavnayein iske shabd hain.

Prabhat is the poetic journey of a mind bound by neither a single subject nor a single emotion. This collection is the voice of a writer who observes his times from very close - in the marketplace, in hospital waiting rooms, in the quiet of a border cantonment, in the din of elections and in the silences of family life.Across fifty poems, this collection holds many shades of life. Somewhere there is a father's restlessness, as he unfolds a bundle of dreams on his son's first posting. Somewhere there is the lockdown of relationships during a pandemic, somewhere the irony of bureaucracy, somewhere the anguish of a pensioner, somewhere questions rising over EVMs and somewhere the pain of Nirbhaya.The writer's gaze is not merely social - it is deeply personal. 'Aap Hain To Sab Kuch Hai!' carries a son's solitary prayer outside an ICU. 'Babuji - Utho Chalo Mere Saath' holds a child's boundless love for his father. 'Vat Savitri: Ananya Ki Maun Tapasya' offers a tender portrait of a modern woman's inner world.In terms of language, this collection is written in the living, breathing Hindi of today's India - carrying the grace of Hindi, the freshness of folk idioms, and the unapologetic presence of contemporary words like 'lockdown', 'WhatsApp', 'EVM', and 'ICU'.Prabhat is not merely a poetry collection - it is the diary of a sensitive citizen, a father, a son and a watchful human being. It speaks in words and lingers in the reader's heart long after the last page is turned.
