Poetry is the essence of life. And reading a poetry book is something when I want to remain silent with a whispering heart. Poetry is not mere collection of words but a pure emotion piercing into heart—sometimes it’s painful yet relieving.  

The moment, I received the “Savoir-Faire by Ashwini Dodani” can’t describe in words. It happens when you reading the person since years and suddenly you got piece of his soul into your hands, you get overwhelmed. Much Thanks Mr.Poet for the book.

When it comes to book, I’m telling you— Ashwini painted a world for his readers with inspiration, smile, love, tears, solitude and few beautiful pauses. While reading each and every poem, I stopped for a moment and tried to savour the exact flavor of the emotion.  
In few poems, I could perceive the whole picture, poet portrayed into words… while few poems were just compilation of aliveness.

Here I want to specify, you hardly found poetry where every word exists because it has to. When I was reading the poems of Savoir-Faire, it was like —this line something else, ok this one.. No…this one is better. But that was best.

It would be injustice to select just one favorite poem, so here I am picking some favorite emotions from this treasure.

It makes you travel a different world,
A journey seen through pair of eyes,
Held hands and clasped beliefs,
Is this love or just a leap?
        —    Love

Build yourself, hold a little
None is going to stand for thee
Bear the pain, cry out hard
You shall strive, and shall survive..
         —    Broke

Solitude might be bliss, silence isn’t
Wake up from the dream of ignorance,
Go tell them today.
How much they matter, before it’s late…
         —     Communication

Not a trade off, not a deal,
Love is nothing but moments drenched of care.
         —    Slave of love

You write down in words your silence
You breathe silence and come back inked.
         —    Eyes

How I want to share my all pickings of the book but can’t and I won’t because some words to be treasured silently.
Two poems, I have not shared is ‘She’ and ‘That Beautiful Kohl Eyed Girl’. Just Beyond the words. The Collection of these 40 poems, Worth your every moment.  Do The Write Thing. Go For It.
