BOOK REVIEW | IT HAPPENS | NISHANT GANG



Ever feel like life’s just one big mess of chaos, and you’re struggling to make sense of it all? Imagine a book that speaks directly to your soul, guiding you through the ups and downs with gentle, poetic wisdom. That’s exactly what "It Happens" by Nishant Gang does—think of it as your new best friend in the form of poetry.


"It Happens" isn’t your typical poetry collection. It’s more like a heart-to-heart conversation. Through beautifully crafted verses, Nishant walks you through life’s unpredictable twists and turns. Each poem feels like a little nudge, reminding you that even in the craziest moments, there’s a bigger picture waiting to unfold. This book isn’t just about reading; it’s about feeling and finding hope when you least expect it.


Let’s talk about Nishant Gang, the mastermind behind this soulful collection. By day, he’s an engineer and consultant, but by heart, he’s a poet who lives and breathes creativity. Nishant has already made waves with his previous works, "Episodic Poetry" and "Silent Words." Born in Assam and having experienced life in various corners of India, his poetry is a rich blend of introspection, personal growth, and resilience. Plus, he’s a tea fanatic and loves F1 and guitar, which just makes him even more relatable, right?


What makes "It Happens" truly special is how deeply it connects with you. This isn’t just poetry; it’s a warm hug wrapped in words. Nishant’s writing is like a soothing balm for the soul, and the illustrations add another layer of beauty to the experience. It’s the kind of book that you’ll want to keep on your nightstand, always within reach for when life feels overwhelming.


The themes in "It Happens" are so universal, it’s almost impossible not to see yourself in them. Love, loss, hope, and resilience—all those things we grapple with every day are right there in Nishant’s words. Each poem feels like a piece of your own life story, written down for you to reflect on and find comfort in. It’s like Nishant has peeked into your heart and turned your feelings into poetry.


There’s this one poem that talks about finding strength when everything seems to be crumbling around you. It’s so simple, yet it hits you right in the feels. It’s the kind of poem that makes you pause, take a deep breath, and realize that you’re stronger than you think. That’s the magic of "It Happens"—it gives you the words you didn’t know you needed.


One of the biggest strengths of "It Happens" is how accessible it is. You don’t need to be a poetry expert to get it. The poems are straightforward but pack a punch. That said, if you’re someone who enjoys more complex, layered poetry, you might find this collection a bit on the simpler side. But honestly, that’s what makes it so comforting—it’s poetry that feels like a friend who just gets you.


"It Happens" left me with a sense of calm and clarity. One line that really stuck with me was, “In the chaos, find the calm; in the calm, find the meaning.” It’s a reminder that even when life feels like a rollercoaster, there’s always a way to find peace and purpose. This book isn’t just a read; it’s an experience.
