Jetuku Amar Nay by Smaranjit Chakrabarty [Hardcover]

How much of this world truly belongs to us and how much does not - understanding this alone takes a lifetime. Humans, with their bewildered, yearning eyes, face the dilemma of what is theirs and what is not every single day. Through small desires and achievements, they try to grasp how much of life truly belongs to them.

In the poetry collection *“Jetuku Amar Noy”* (*“What Is Not Mine”*), Smaranjit explores these small, everyday wants and unfulfilled longings of our lives. The short, rhythmic four-line poems portray a vivid tapestry of simple and complex emotions and colours. The collection captures moments like a child’s perception and understanding of their parents and the struggles of urban life. It also traverses a journey that extends beyond cities, suburbs, and villages, delving into the lives of diverse individuals. Alongside, it blends in the essence of love and the many moments of tenderness embedded within our lives.

Much like how light refracts into vibrant colors through a chipped stone, these brief, flavor-rich poems depict various scenes and emotions of life. Amidst this diversity, *“Jetuku Amar Noy”* primarily narrates the story of life itself - of trust and love between humans.
