When I Wrote An Ode Syed Raza

There are varied experiences that one goes through in this life, from the playful childishness, to adolescent naivety, to mature adulthood assisted with ideas of self-realisation and self-acceptance. During this process, one encounters varied emotions arising out of personal struggles, understanding about self, identity and ideas of love and search of ways to deal with absence of it or the separation from it. To Whom I Wrote An Ode And Other Notes is one such outcome of the numerous experiences one may have. Written as collection of notes, in the form of poetry and conversations with self, having use of both English and Urdu (Roman Script) languages, it encompasses various emotions arising out of search for love and finding one-self. This collection tells you stories about love and its impact on oneself, its failures and its successes and also touches upon other facets of life and one's growth as a person.
