Ashni often uses her world-view to capture a specific moment in poetry, with all its implication and emotions riding behind it. This is yet another moment from her life, written when she was nine. She thought of this poem when she was visiting her grand father, an avid reader himself.
A book on the shelf —
Turning the page to a new chapter.
A book on the shelf —
Reread and worn with adventure.
A book on the shelf —
Being understood and reconsidered.
A book on the shelf —
Diving into the next chapter,
One story after another.
A book on the shelf —
A piece of the world.
— Ashni Krishna Singh.
