Abhijit Sarmah
“My town of clouds and river
Of terrifying minds and young dreams
Streets with some people
Good people smiling
Train tracks of dreamers,
High, happy, celebrating—
Us, themselves and the beauty.”
Abhijit Sarmah, The Voice Under Silence: Poems

Abhijit Sarmah
“The purpose of poetry is not to provide a solution or, say, to stop a war or prevent millions of people from dying, etc. Poetry can never do that. Poetry is all about keeping the dialogue alive. Poetry must bring forth, time and again, issues that need attention and are intentionally or unintentionally forgotten.”
Abhijit Sarmah

“A withering gem at the heart
Of a dying river
—Majuli”

Rhonda Byrne
“Remember that your thoughts are the primary cause of everything.”
Rhonda Byrne, The Secret

“So old were you, Grammpa—
the last time I saw you, anaemic
You looked like the monsoon in my town.”
Abhijit Sarmah, The Voice Under Silence: Poems
