Six of Cups which is a minor arcana card in a traditional tarot deck that symbolises nostalgia for the good old days, this collection of poetry is an ode to the evocative remembrance of sepia-tinged memories, both collective and individual. These memories give a sense of rootedness in an increasingly alienating world. Poems like “Good Old Doordarshan,” “Sibling Squabbles,” and “Supernatural” are light-hearted but stir up memories that will make anyone smile at our common rites of passage. Other poems like “My Grandpa’s Stories,” “Festival Of Lights,” “Paper Boat,” “Birthday Parties,” and “Mint Chutney” evoke a sense of hiraeth for past homes and hearths we can’t go to. Overall, this anthology is a perfect read for anyone who wants to take a trip down memory lane and re-live those memories of the past that make us who we are today.
