Petals of Melancholy

Varsha Alimchandani manages to encapsulate the feeling of lost love whilst maintaining a stronghold on South Asian culture.

The author brings me back to my own MH issues and how I often feel at times. Lines such as “Some days you are just a photograph a frozen version that nobody can relate to.” Helps reflect the condition of self and a connection with the voice and the writer happens immediately.

I look forward to reading more of Alimchandani's work in future. The world cannot ignore such raw talent.
