This was the year that I found whirlwinds in my teacup and big calamities in the smallest of things. This was the year our bare feet walked on broken shards of glass bottles, and these are some wars we are still fighting within our minds.

The world was made quiet, kept inside for months over months and only death roamed the streets all day and night. Isolation had my mind running wild- which was both wonderful and disastrous.

The poetries that you are about to read are a product of a teenage mind kept on leash but ever so often did it sneak out in the middle of the night to find adventures and fantasy- and I never had to get out of my house for that.

This is a war between
my fantasy and reality.



E p i g r a p h

In the subdued whispers of passed on folklore, in the legends of jinns and ghosts, in the euphoria of love, in the nostalgia of a past life, in the wonders of a world which is quite different from mine, in the loss of a dear one you cherished with dear life and the goodbyes that leave your heartstrings feeling astray- they all come with whirlwinds of stories we never say.❞

D e d i c a t i o n

In the honor of every hardship, every battle, every loss, every tear, every pain and every hero in the year of two thousand and twenty.

I have unfathomable pleasure to share that whirlwinds won the wattpad india awards 2020 under the judges choice awards of the poetry genre.

This book started off as an escape for me, from everything that wasn't going right. And to even be writing this feels a kind of surreal I'm grateful to experience. But really, it's each and every one of my readers that gave their time, support and presence to this book, so it wouldn't be the same without you. Thank you.
