A new and thought-provoking poetry collection, Anurashmi, penned by Dr. Ravendra Kumar Srivastav, has been released, promising readers a heartfelt journey through personal emotions, human relationships, and the fabric of society. With poetic grace and emotional depth, this book invites readers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the sentiments that shape their everyday lives.
Anurashmi is not just a compilation of verses; it is a mirror to the world around us, as seen through the eyes of someone who has lived a life rich in experience, compassion, and introspection. The poems in this collection stem from the author’s deep sensitivity to social realities, personal relationships, and the nuances of emotional experiences. Each poem in Anurashmi resonates with sincerity and simplicity, making it relatable and moving for readers from all walks of life.
The title Anurashmi itself symbolizes a beam of emotion—gentle, warm, and illuminating. This essence is reflected throughout the collection, where the poet delicately weaves words into verses that speak of love, longing, society, nature, and inner conflicts. Whether it is the quiet melancholy of lost moments or the subtle joy of human connection, Dr. Srivastav’s poetry captures it with elegance and clarity.
Dr. Ravendra Kumar Srivastav brings to his writing not just literary sensibility, but a wealth of real-world insight. A retired bank officer and an alumnus of the prestigious University of Allahabad, he holds a Doctorate in Management and Social Services. His lifelong interests include reading, writing, social service, and environmental work such as plantation drives. These pursuits are evident in the themes and concerns he raises in Anurashmi, which often reflect a sense of civic responsibility, a love for nature, and empathy for the underrepresented.
What makes Anurashmi stand out is its ability to balance the personal and the universal. The poet’s own experiences serve as the foundation, but the emotions and reflections extend far beyond the self. Readers will find themselves connecting to the verses, as if the words speak directly to their own lives, fears, hopes, and relationships.
In today’s fast-paced world, where emotional expression is often sidelined, Anurashmi acts as a gentle reminder of the value of feeling, of observing, and of caring. It reminds us that poetry still holds the power to touch hearts, bridge gaps, and inspire change.
The release of Anurashmi marks a significant contribution to modern Hindi poetry. It is a celebration of sensitivity, a tribute to everyday emotions, and a call to look at the world with compassion and understanding.
This collection is a must-read for poetry lovers, Hindi literature enthusiasts, and anyone who finds solace in the power of words. With Anurashmi, Dr. Ravendra Kumar Srivastav invites us to walk with him through the corridors of emotion, thought, and human connection—one poem at a time.
