Kalam Ki Khamoshi by Komal Shahani – A Heartfelt Hindi Poetry Collection That Helps You Pause and Reconnect
There are some books that don’t just speak to you—they gently hold your hand and lead you back to yourself. Kalam Ki Khamoshi by Komal Sahani is one such book. As someone who had slowly drifted away from reading Hindi, this poetry collection felt like a warm homecoming. It reminded me why I fell in love with the language in the first place.
A Book That Makes You Stop, Breathe, and Feel Again
In our hectic lives, where we’re constantly moving, multitasking, and chasing deadlines, we often forget what we’re truly feeling. Kalam Ki Khamoshi arrives like a pause button. Every poem feels like a soft whisper telling you, “It’s okay. Slow down. Listen to yourself.”
Sahani’s writing is intimate, gentle, and deeply reflective. These aren’t just poems, they’re emotions translated into words, moments captured in stillness, and thoughts we all feel but rarely express.
Beautifully Divided Into Three Soulful Sections
The book is structured in three parts, each touching a different emotional space:
1. Mere Ehsaas (My Feelings)
A tender exploration of emotions like love, longing, nostalgia, and self-reflection. These poems feel like conversations you’ve had with yourself late at night.
2. Shikayate (Complaints & Unspoken Hurt)
This section dives into imperfections, heartbreaks, disappointments, and the raw corners of relationships. It feels honest, relatable, and incredibly human.
3. Khwab (Dreams)
A dreamy, hopeful space that celebrates aspirations, imagination, and the fragile beauty of dreams. It leaves you with a quiet sense of warmth.
Why This Book Stands Out
❤️ Emotionally rich and relatable
💛 Written in beautifully expressive Hindi
🤍 Perfect for readers who love reflective and heartfelt poetry
💫 A gentle reminder to pause and reconnect with yourself
Komal Sahani’s language flows effortlessly, evoking memories of home, childhood, relationships, and the inner worlds we often hide. It’s the kind of poetry that makes you look inward softly, without demanding too much.
Who Should Read Kalam Ki Khamoshi?
If you love:
Hindi poetry
Heartfelt, genuine writing
Books that soothe your heart
Poetry that makes you think
Reflections on life, society, emotions, and self-growth
…this book will feel like a warm cup of chai on a quiet evening.
Final Thoughts
Kalam Ki Khamoshi is more than a poetry collection, it’s an experience. It made me reconnect with Hindi, with literature, and most importantly, with myself. If you’re looking for a book that brings both comfort and clarity, Komal Shahani’s words will stay with you long after the last page.
