Just like the name of this book, life is a paradox. At times questions are the answers and at times it's the other way around. The writer has searched for answers and most of the time found himself in a paradox. Sometimes he didn't even care to find any as life is bizarre.
Majority of the middle-class people like us had our fair share of discussing a lot of things while having a cup of Tong Tea. Literally, Tong means Tea Stall. The subject of these discussions ranged from religion, culture, politics, love, life, and many more. With time these topics got cold just like the tea.
The writer has beautifully expressed his inner scars, monologues, and philosophical journey of many. While reading this book, one might find himself very familiar with this intergalactic journey with small things those made huge impact in his or her life.
The imagination of Aqueb Safwan Jaser and the realization at such an early age might amaze a lot of good readers. Through these small poems, he has spoken millions of words. Hell, that's poetry, that's a poem, writing countless words surprisingly in brief. Relating to a million lives with very few magical words, that's what you call a poem.
The Writer has brilliantly done this task. The task of writing some brief yet very touching multi-layered stories through his poems. The Illustrations and editing of this book is just great.
Aqueb Safwan Jaser writes so beautifully. His mind must be a terrible place.
It's my time to end this review with one of his poems from the book.
[Thousand & One
A thousand pasts were missed.
A thousand futures dreamed.
Still, not a single present lived.]
⏳Thousand & One
A thousand pasts missed.
A thousand futures dreamed.
Still, not a single present lived.
🌿Little Things
Demands, we may have aplenty
But content we shall be,
with small things,
silly things.
🔥Greatest Show on Earth
A hundred times
You checked your phone.
A hundred times
You felt more alone.
You turned on the TV
To see,
What kinda show
could set you free.
But your eyes were covered
With too much dirt.
Unable to see
that you,
were the greatest show on earth.
🌱Poverty
Small town kid.
Desperate need.
Poverty, creed.
Awful freed.
Will he ever be freed?
📑Mad Noiseless Crescendos by Aqueb Safwan Jaser
So, I was telling my friend yesterday how excited I was when Mad Noiseless Crescendos was published. Starting from the compilation of poems to the designing of the cover, we had a killer time.
Honestly, though, it’s not much. I mean what do I know? There’s so much left to know about life let alone poetry. I simply enjoy writing so when the opportunity came nearly two years ago, I decided to grab it.
I don’t know what’s next for me as a growing writer but it'd be amazing if you also tag along in this humble journey of mine.
This delightful collection of Tong poems is written by a friend. In "Mad Noiseless Crescendos", Aqueb Safwan Jaser]] muses on the lived experiences of every young adult in Bangladesh deeply enmeshed in the modern, everyday, tiring life of the city, but from an angle that feels both crisply refreshing & mesmerizingly magical.
