Grammar of Decay

The Grammar of Decay is a lyrical meditation on love, loneliness, memory, migration, nature, and the slow erosion of human relationships in a fragile world. Moving between beaches, rain-soaked verandahs, migrant roads, widowed rooms, stray dogs, burning forests, and cosmic blue distances, these poems inhabit the quiet space where personal grief merges with environmental and moral decay.

Written in a voice that echoes the reflective stillness of Indian English poetry while engaging with contemporary post-modern anxieties, the collection transforms ordinary Indian landscapes and objects into metaphors of longing, survival, tenderness, and disappearance. These poems do not seek grand conclusions; instead, they remain faithful to the unfinished quest of being human in a world slowly losing its certainties.
