Hello readers, poet here...

Well, I can't believe that finally I'm able to write a Note of Thanks here. I can't believe that I've actually finished this book. Have been writing this book for more than two years now, and this is till now the longest time that I've taken to finish any of my poetry books.

To be honest, this is exactly what I've wanted when I began to write this book, back in 2021. That's why I wrote in the beginning of the book that I want to cook it slowly in a low flame. I wanted this book to capture the sense of a good period of time of my life and how the timeline evolves my poetry. Though, this is the process I wanted, but here the outcome is way beyond my expectation. And this is not to be arrogant or anything.... Basically, the drastic events and people that have happened in my life, over the last few years, shaped my poetry in various aspects. Truth be told, some of them were downright brutal to me, and some were so amazing that they made me grateful to myself for being alive. Not gonna lie, at the end, all of those, good or bad, bloomed in the poems of this book in wondrous manner. Honestly, I couldn't ask for more. Having said that, I know, my writing needs to developed a lot more with time and I'll work hard on it.

I said in the blurb that this one is all about the leftovers or literally the Remainders of human emotions. This book, in fact, collected all those leftovers of my mind and served an entire exquisite meal in a luxurious platter. The best part is that everyone is invited to enjoy the meal according to their own tastes and on their own terms.

Now, last but not the least, cattleyaon5th, the one who believes like a matter of fact that I can successfully go through apocalypse and still rise, even on days when I  myself feel like I won't be able to go on for a moment... I don't think, I'm able to do justice if I write about her (though, sometimes I try unsuccessfully). So, instead, except of course myself, she is the person for whom I write.
As we say, I live you.

So, the journey of writing this book ends here, but we all know that poetry never really ends, right!
This poet is gonna be back, pretty soon.

Until then...

Much love,❤️
