Mere Hisse Ki Khushi by Abhishek Singh ‘Kutaj’ is a thoughtful poetry collection that brings together personal emotions and the larger realities of society. Through reflective and observant verses, the book explores happiness, struggle, helplessness, purpose, hunger, and the search for meaning in everyday life.
The collection looks beyond individual emotions to examine the circumstances that shape them. Politics and society form an important backdrop, allowing the poems to explore how larger realities can influence ordinary lives and even shape our understanding of happiness, necessity, and survival.
What makes the collection distinctive is its introspective quality. Rather than offering straightforward answers, the poems encourage readers to pause, question, and look more closely at the world around them. Each verse creates a quiet conversation between the poet and the reader, leaving space for personal interpretation.
Abhishek Singh ‘Kutaj’ draws upon more than five decades of life experiences and nearly three decades of diverse professional exposure. His journey across Meerut, Lucknow, and Bengaluru has given him the opportunity to observe people, relationships, places, and changing social realities, all of which find expression in his poetry.
The title itself, Mere Hisse Ki Khushi, captures the central spirit of the collection—the search for one’s own share of happiness within a complicated world. The poems question what happiness means when personal desires exist alongside social responsibilities and wider realities.
The collection ultimately connects the personal with the collective, showing how individual experiences are often shaped by the society we live in. Its poetry encourages readers not only to understand their own emotions but also to become more aware of the circumstances surrounding them.
EDITORIAL VERDICT
