Description

The meaning of love ricochets between the perceptions of love. Love is set in the divinity of Kabir’s dohas, Namdev and Tukaram’s abhangs, Thiruvalluvar’s thirukkurals, baul geet to the mortal blue tick marks of WhatsApp or the swag of a mohawk hairstyle. Love sticks out like the tongue of Kali, suckles like a baby on a mother’s breast, trickles like raindrops from leaves, rolls down like beads of sweat, drives at 200 mph without a seatbelt, and faints at nothing.
Madhu’s poems are simple, direct and sensuous. They teach us to reclaim the romance vanishing fast from our busy and selfish urban lives governed by the monotony of speed. — K Satchidanandan
Madhu has, early in his poetic career, created a voice and vocabulary that is uniquely his own. Rakhshanda JalilI fell in love with the title of the book. Aren’t we all starving for some wholesome love? — Onir
Madhu’s poems gallop towards some destination that is like a mirage that shifts as one gets closer. —Sukrita Paul Kumar
Madhu speaks of love with such simplicity that language ceases to matter. — Salma
