REVIEW: 

Inertia is a collection of poems by Pune based author Yashodhan Burange. While I am not the biggest fan of poetry, I sometimes step out of my reading comfort zone; which is why I decided to give this collection a try. I was pleasantly surprised at how well written the collection was and how it spread across a vast variety of themes. While both the points are equally important, the latter outweighs the former because it ensures that the reader will find something or the other that interests them. 

A collection of 63 poems with interesting and unique titles, each poem is accompanied by a song name. Now this comes as a nice twist. I did recognise a few of the singer and band names, but for those readers who are equally passionate about music as they are about reading, this will be a treat to the ears, eyes and brain. 

There's not much else to say about a poetry collection but it's very subjective and I would recommend readers to pick up the book and see for themselves how well put together the collection is. And do trust me when I say that you will find something of your interest in there- whether it's a song or a poem or a new word. 

Some of my favourite poems from the collection are To the Artists, Gallantry, Difference, Structure and Calamity. Here are some excerpts: 

The things we do to look brave 
Are the things which 
Scare us the most. 
(Gallantry) 

Loving a poet 
Does not make you 
A poem 
Leaving him does.   
(Difference) 

Such incredible lines. And these are only a few lines from two poems. There's so much more to this collection which I would highly recommend.
