In an age where the world moves at breakneck speed and our lives are dominated by the digital, IAS officer Neha Bansal’s new book, “Six of Cups,” offers a heartfelt respite. A collection of evocative poems delves into the sepia-tinged realm of collective and individual memories. The title, drawn from a minor arcana card in a traditional tarot deck symbolizing nostalgia, perfectly sets the tone for this poetic journey into the past.
“Six of Cups” is a beautifully curated anthology that serves as an ode to cherished moments, shaping our identities and offering a sense of rootedness in an increasingly alienating world. Ms. Bansal’s poems explore a blend of light-hearted and poignant themes. With pieces like “Good Old Doordarshan,” “Sibling Squabbles,” and “Supernatural,” readers are transported back to shared rites of passage that bring a smile to their faces. Conversely, poems such as “My Grandpa’s Stories,” “Festival of Lights,” “Paper Boat,” “Birthday Parties,” and “Mint Chutney” evoke a deep sense of longing for past homes and hearths that we can no longer return to.
