Once Upon a Poem is shaped by the influences that shaped its author. Fairy tales form the ground of many poems, while Amar Chitra Katha lends its frames-King Udayan's Veena, The Letter of Vidya and Chandrahas-where narrative turns symbolic. Threaded through the collection is an Advaitic gaze, Upanishadic in temper, attentive to the non-dual pulse beneath myth and memory. Echoes of Carl Jung surface quietly, as archetypes, shadows, and inward journeys. What framed a personality has framed this book: a lifelong listening to story, silence, and the self that witnesses both.
