Book Review -
Bayann-e-Shikhar is penned by Shikhar Balwani, a collection of poetry in Hindi and Urdu language, offering a sincerely personal narrative that explores the multifaceted nature of human emotions, struggles, and reflections.
Through a collection of verses, the author provides readers with an intimate glimpse into his mind, using a unique style that is both reflective and universally relatable.
The book is divided into several sections, each dealing with diverse themes such as passion, detachment, societal issues, connections, companionships, and loneliness. The author's writing is marked by its raw honesty, often delving into the darker aspects of life with a refreshing and challenging sincerity.
One of the standout features of this book is its ability to connect with readers on a personal level. The author's words resonate with the struggles and triumphs of everyday life, making his reflections not just his, but also those of the reader.
The book's title itself suggests that it is narrated by the author, indicating a realisation of thoughts distilled into effective literary expressions.
The use of words is both elegant and accessible, making the book a pleasure to read for anyone fluent in Hindi and Urdu. Shikhar Balwani's ability to write about the pain of separation, the joy of love, or the struggles of self-identity does so with a poignant and powerful sensitivity.
However, the book's content is best suited for light or escapist readers instead of someone more into reading heavy pieces of literature. Still, the versatile compositions through the lens of personal understanding make it a book that will echo with many readers.
This book demands to be read slowly, savoured, and reflected upon. It is not just a collection of words but a journey into the depth of human experience, guided by a talented and insightful writer. I recommend it.
