    Debatrayee Banerjee

    Keeping aside the valued law degree and the glitter of the family business, Debatrayee Banerjee embraced the power of writing. This is her first endeavour to convey her thoughts in the silhouette of poetry, paying a humble homage to Sir Samuel Taylor Coleridge touching the rich genre of Conversation Poetry.

      ABOUT THE AUTHOR

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

      A string of words

      A shadow of thoughts..

      - A Whispering

      Leaf…

      Thoughts are not always symmetrical

      A Whispering Leaf… is an attempt to silhouette certain abstract thoughts; thoughts which all of us encounter in our everyday life, thoughts that peep out of our mind and heart, thoughts that shine gloriously with the radiant hue of our soul…
