It is such a joy to read this book! Swetha has done an incredible job in portraying even the smallest and most intricate emotions and feelings in a beautiful way.
The blend of prose and poetry certainly makes the read refreshing! I could really connect to some of the experiences and emotions Swetha shares in her book. Some of the pages introduced me to look at life in a different way and to pause, notice and appreciate even the smallest of things.
Overall, it’s a wonderful book and I wish Swetha the best. Looking forward to more of her works in future!

Delightful Dearies
"I want the Rain to Stay" by Swetha PujariSnehaDelightful Dearies
Reviewed in India on April 9, 2022
I want the rain to stay So you and I can live once again under the tendril drops of a falling rain says the author
Her Poems are so delightful as they are the symphony from deep within her heart.
The author mentions in the Preface "I don't write to find my voice;instead,I write to reposition myself as a perpetual observer of the transient thoughts,so that I silently witness them passing"
The first page starts like this
" The poems in the pages belong to no one,but I dedicate them to the infinite universe you hold in your heart"
The narration of her proses is as incredible as watching a movie and knowing that all these poems and proses are from her real life experience will make it more enchanting.
Poems I loved
alive,souvenir,city streets,tenacious,I want the rain to stay,past,a slice of you,to Tabrizi,cruise,last kiss,time steps
Excerpts from the book
a slice of you:
A piece of my hear beats in you everytime you think of me
My breath fades away every time you grieve
My soul heaves a sigh everytime a smile crosses your coast and
Everyday when I close my eyes to sleep,my dreams inch a step closer to you
I want the rain to stay:
I want the rain to stay so you can sweep the clouds and trace my name
I want the rain to stay so I can soak my heart and strum unwrapping a melody
I want the rain to stay so we can live once again under the tendril drops of a falling rain
These Poems are very relatable and will take the reader to realm of her own reflections
This book is a treasure that you can keep it at some place you can see and randomly check a page and go deep within.As the author says it takes you to the stillness within you.Every time you read you feel it like freshness of a fragrance of a flower and tender and warm feeling of a light breeze
Thank you for this tender,gentle and incredible work@brazenwings

I want the rain to stay
The writing was captivating. It was written with human fragility and is well crafted. I especially like the part where she describes a place as a movie.Supriya SudhirI want the rain to stay

I want the emotions to Stay
Swetha is always busy and hungry and eager to experience life to the fullest. I can’t recall a day when is she isn’t busy mastering a new skill, or signing up for a workshop or volunteering on weekends or tending to her succulent garden and if nothing else on hand to do, going for long walks. And life and nature in turn are channelling their wisdom through her, which is quite evident in these soul touching poems.JyothiI want the emotions to Stay

All the poems are a delight to read and suddenly you would stumble upon a poem that touches a chord with you. That’s ‘voices’ for me! It perfectly mirrored the perpetual loop of soundless chatter in my mind. “Waves of Incessant thoughts, diligently digging the past…”
All the poems are a delight to read and once in a while you come across few thought provoking lines which will linger in your thoughts, such as "If her dreams were thicker, than the sieve I am holding, or if my steps were heavier, with my heart unfolding” in ‘city lights’
All the poems are a delight to read and then every now and then you stare at emotion laced phrases which are startlingly impactful, stop you in your tracks and leave you in wonder and awe, like "For who is it my thoughts race, and why is it my heart aches" in ‘quite chaos’
I wish each of you enjoy reading all the poems and find that one piece that echoes with your core and cherish reading them again and again.
On a rainy night, to soak your mind in the myriad of emotions
On a springy evening, to fill your soul with peace and content
On a scorching day, to swing you with its thought provoking lines
On an autumn dusk, to take you through a ride across nostalgic times
