a microphone in her hand, lights warming her skin,
and a crowd swaying to the rhythm of her voice.
But over time, something inside her shifted.
The stage she had imagined wasn't under spotlights—it was in silence, in solitude.
The white pages became her platform.
Her words became the dance steps.
Each sentence moved with a rhythm only the soul could feel.
And now, this book—quiet and still—has become her performance.
Not in front of an audience, but within the heart of anyone who turns its pages.
No lights.
No applause.
Just truth, finally finding its form.
Abhinandana’s poetic collection "The Lunar Shadow" is a mesmerizing blend of emotion, imagination, and a deep connection to the moon and the natural world. Her words flow like music, painting vivid scenes of longing, courage, and quiet reflection. Each poem feels like a dance of thoughts on paper—gentle, powerful, and full of soul. It's remarkable how someone so young captures such depth and feeling. Her voice is fresh, sincere, and poetic at its core. This is not just a book—it’s a stage, and her words are the performance. A brilliant and promising debut.
