Creativity

‘Using a variety of literary devices, Sandeep Narayan Tripathi has produced a volume of intricate and sometimes complex poetry. Pretty.Jash.Katha demonstrates his skill with words as he opens his heart, allowing his feelings to cascade onto the page in a stream of poignant verse. Though the true meaning can sometimes be playfully misleading (I am thinking of the poem Me And My Baby) the poetry is clear and accessible. A heartfelt, often thought provoking work with much to recommend it, but at the end I am left wondering who is Penelope?’

Ode to God

‘From the melancholy farewell to an old flame in ‘A Poetic Letter‘, to an ode to God, the Creator in ‘God & Me‘, to the heart of a romantic in ‘In Simple Words’, to the revelations of the soul in ‘There’s Something Between Us‘ – which would make a wonderful ballad – each lays bare the poet’s soul like the unfurling petals of a tiny rose bud as it soaks in the early morning dew. However, not all of the author’s poems speak of the lofty ideals of love and romance. In ‘The Power‘, he pays tribute to what makes the world go round – the power of politics, the power of money, and the power of love.’

Seize Your Moment

‘Written with a modern and unique flavor, the bar is quickly set high in the lyrical beauty shining throughout each and every stanza. I quite favored ‘A River A Love‘ and ‘A Poetic Letter‘ as one is filled with regret and compassion for the reader, while the other shows a deep love of the seasons presented by Mother Nature. Profound emotional undertones brush each sentence and it is plain to see that much thought has been put into what is written, while combining old English with new.’

Daily Beauty

‘The poems revolve around everyday happenings and the author glorifies the daily beauty and awesome elements of every day of our lives. Every poem in the collection has its own appeal and will make readers look at their surroundings and life with a new outlook. It will make them more observant of what is happening in their lives. The author’s style of writing is descriptive and I enjoyed the rhyming poems a lot. The author gives good rhythm and a lyrical quality to the poems. The last poem in the book – ‘About Life‘ – is perfect and, as the author mentions, life goes on and he motivates and encourages readers to walk the journey of life with self-respect.’

An Intellectual Approach

‘The words in the author’s selection of poems places a strong emphasis on love and life in general, taking an intellectual approach. He states that in reality we are responsible for our actions, and are our own ‘Judge, Jury & Executioner‘. Some of the poems have good rhyming flow, while others are free verse. Not all are written in traditional poetry forms, but include a few deep-thinking essays as well. Two of these essays are ‘The Woman in My Life‘ and ‘The Man‘. Persons who are fond of philosophical poetry will like the uplifting musings of Pretty.Jash.Katha.’
