In 65 Ways to Talk and Forget, Raja Chakraborty crafts a luminous and lyrical map of human memory, emotion, and resilience. This poetry collection speaks to the gentle chaos of everyday life—where loss lingers in silence, love arrives like monsoon rain, and hope glimmers even in the darkest corners. With a voice that is intimate yet universal, Chakraborty navigates through nostalgia, relationships, cityscapes, and inner transformations with striking imagery and emotional depth.
From poignant reflections on childhood and parenthood to meditations on modern life, each poem is a doorway into the shared yet deeply personal experiences we often leave unspoken. Whether he’s writing about biriyani as a memory of a father’s love, or the endurance of a city in the rain, Chakraborty transforms the ordinary into the poetic.
This collection isn’t just about remembering—it’s about finding strength in forgetting, about choosing poetry in a world that often forgets to pause.
Perfect for readers of contemporary Indian poetry, 65 Ways to Talk and Forget is both balm and mirror—a book to be returned to, like an old friend.
