Tell
Me Your Real Story
is a collection of poems by Savita Nair. I really liked the book
because it offered something refreshingly new. The poems are
contemporary. They deal with the issues faced by the urban youth. So
we have poems about selfies, diplomacy, being a conformist. Also
there are poems about dealing with a bad boss, beer, facebook, being
in control of your life. The poetess succeeds in bringing the
struggles of urban young and women to the fore. Her topics, her
disappointment and her frustration is palpable.
These
poems are about a young person with many idealistic dreams in her
eyes, but who is caught in the rut. They are about breaking the
stereotypes and becoming free. They are rebellious and path breaking.
The
writing is simple and easy to relate. Every poem is a story in
itself. The book leaves you enriched. It makes you to introspect
about your life. Yes, the poems may lack the rhyming words and meter.
But the content is indeed disruptive. That is the reason why I liked
Tell Me Your Real Story.
