About The Book

Ek Mutthi Pani is a poetic journey of search, emotions, and self-discovery. This collection explores the longing for a destination where one wishes to pause, settle, and find peace forever, yet life keeps slipping away like drops of water through a closed fist. Sometimes, circumstances break us, and sometimes we break ourselves, quietly retreating into the corners of our own world.
Born from the experiences of everyday life, these poems carry the emotions, struggles, and silent voices of women. Written from the “kitchen’s pen” and shaped by the smoke of resistance, this collection reflects courage, identity, pain, and inner strength. Each poem is a reflection of emotions that remain unspoken yet deeply felt.
Dedicated to all women, especially the women of Mithila, the birthplace of Goddess Sita, this book celebrates their resilience, dreams, and untold stories. These poems are not meant to be merely read, but to be paused over and allowed to sink deep within.
