The Modesty and Majesty of Being by Dhaval Rathod, Dhaval Rathod
4.0

Modesty and majesty, two contrasting terms but can co-exist in harmony in nature. Elucidating this idea, the poet takes on his inspiration and has brought to us a collection of beautiful expressions.
The book on the whole is divided into four sections, each balancing the duality mentioned in being, nature, universe and love. Although sectioned, once you finish the book you can easily find the essence of connection between them and how it all connects in the big picture.
The first section being, is my personal favourite, my emotions resonated with quite a few of the poems here and some like ' Women, The Unmistakable Law, Shining Alone, Wildflower' make a strong statement about life!
.
Favourite from the nature section is 'Cursed Lovers' - a beautiful play on day and night. 'Unbiased' - describing impartiality of nature.
.
'Ten Twinkling Little Stars' in the universe section reminded me of a bengali poem and I loved the 'Canvas of the Cosmos'.
.
The last section of love is the one that will probably make you stop, think, relate and go back and on. It has some truly powerful lines! Of falling in love, going aways, pains, gains, fulfilled and unfullfilled love, it has all that can be encompassed.
.
I find it difficult to usually review poetry books because I tend to flow away. This book I think does solid justice to its title, and one that I will go back to again, for quotable and relatable lines as well as introspection as mentioned.
