The Wise & the Wasted Chandni Chopra

"Wisdom may belong to the wise, but the journey, belongs to the wasted. Always wandering, hopelessly dreaming faltering, learning, forever seeking. And darling, if this is not life, then what is?"A passional mother, shielding her child from an archetypal society. An estranged father, disappearing without a warning. A loyal lover, struggling to embrace his true identity. A free spirited artist, facing his insecurities. A curious daughter, set to find her own trajectory. What happens as they set out on their own journeys? What happens when their paths intertwine?Following the novel in verse narrative, the book carefully follows the journey and graph of each character. The story delves into current cultural conversations including mental health, sexual abuse, displacement as well as timeless themes of love, passion and art. The poetically weaved verses, subtly impel the readers to have more perspectives than just one and ultimately follow their hearts.
