 A Better Me by Maushumi Lata Padhi

"A Better Me" is a heartfelt collection of poems that relate to nature, daily life chores, struggles we face and the way we feel when winning a task. Beginning from childhood to adulthood, it covers most of the precious moments that made us experience and learn new things and turn into a unique person with a smile.

These poems remind us of the fact that we are caught in the web of changing social dynamics, stress and rising expectations. With declining moral values and intolerance, living a smooth, hassle-free life is not easy. It attempts to reflect on our daily struggles and how one can come out like sunshine.

I like all the poems, but "Love Against All Odds" is my favourite. It made me remember how I fought against all odds to be with my love. A few verses that laid before me many hidden secrets:
❤️" The pictures portray a different me.
But the mirror in front says it's all me."

❤️" She soaks in life's goodies, both gentle and strong.
Sweet, sour or bitter, they all make her song.

The author has meticulously penned the harsh but TRUE aspects of life. Her vivid words painted a picture of life with different colours.

Overall, it is an adorable and mesmerising read.
