This book of prose and poetry revolves around themes of the complexity of human emotions like- anger, heartbreak, love, hurt, betrayal, etc. In most emotions, there is an underlying message of holding onto hope. It is about thoughts that overwhelm people in the recesses of the silence they find themselves in before their mind takes

over to fill the quietness with it's incessant 'what-ifs' and other thoughts. It captures the yearning for a better world and seeking true peace.

The event was held at SD College, Sector-32, Chandigarh. Dr. Ajay Sharma, Principal of SD College, Dr. Gurpreet Singh and Dr Anirudh Joshi General Secretary GGDSD College Management Society, Chandigarh, were also present on the occasion to encourage the young writer.
