![]() ![]() There is one thing that is very difficult to ignore in I Wish I Could Rewind and that is the poor editing. It not only shows his emotional intelligence but also his concern for the world that we live in today. I also liked that Dheeraj is able to write about such diverse range of topics. It is really commendable that he has decided to seriously pursue his passion at the age of just 19 years, an age when many of us are hardly sure about the next examination, alone our future. What I liked the most in I Wish I Could Rewind is that Dheeraj Thareja has this clarity of thought which is sometimes very difficult to find in somebody of such a young age. That way I wouldn’t have had to experience the sudden and rather undesirable switch from romanticizing the monsoons in “Yeah, It’s Raining” to the throes of a sour relationship in “Angry Birds”. I would have loved it if the author had categorized his poems into different sections. One thing that I missed was content planning. A reader will come across poems that cover a wide variety of subjects.įrom a father’s love to the beauty of rain, from the pain of betrayal in love to the childhood memories of school, from a lonely night ride to the dream of an ideal nation, this book has something to offer to every reader who decides to give it a try.

The blurb of I Wish I Could Rewind chooses the philosophical way to describe the contents of the book. In other words, the book makes for a comfortable read. The physical aspects – the cover, quality of the pages, quality of the bind, typeset, font size, font style – are just perfect. Read on to know more about my thoughts on the book that this cover so beautifully graces.Īs is the case with every Notion Press publication that I come across, I Wish I Could Rewind scores well in terms of the quality of the book. Not only I was intrigued but also spellbound by what the cover was conveying to me. If there is one cover that portrays poetry it is this one, and it would be a massive understatement to say that I was captured by the cover of this book. Though I haven’t really used quills, ink pens are something that I still lovingly associate with my childhood. The eye appealing cover takes you back in time to the days where people still used ink and quills. I Wish I Could Rewind has a cover that makes you nostalgic.
