Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of In Search of Myself: A Journey Towards Nothingness by Kanchi M


Have you ever sat quietly and wondered, Why am I here? What’s the point of all this? If you have, then Kanchi M’s In Search of Myself: A Journey Towards Nothingness is going to feel like it was written just for you. This isn’t just a poetry book—it’s like a soulful conversation with a wise friend who nudges you to pause, breathe, and look within.


The book is a heartfelt collection of contemporary poems that takes you on an inner journey of self-discovery. Each poem touches themes like love, nostalgia, mindfulness, and divinity. It feels like the author poured her soul into every line, guiding readers to explore life’s mysteries. These aren’t just pretty words; they’re a gentle push toward seeing life beyond the mundane. Think of it as a poetic map for the heart and soul.


Kanchi’s writing is pure magic. Her words don’t just sit on the page—they dance, sing, and sometimes even hum quietly in the background. The flow is natural, the metaphors are stunning, and the language feels like a warm hug. What I loved most? The book’s design—colored pages with intricate patterns that pull you into the world of her poetry. It’s an experience, not just a read.


The poems dive deep into timelessness, oneness, and the search for higher meaning. They make you pause and ask big questions about life—ones you might’ve been too busy to think about. I connected most with the pieces about nostalgia and longing. They reminded me that even in life’s chaos, there’s beauty in stillness.


The book flows beautifully, almost like one continuous poem. There’s no abrupt start or finish; it’s seamless and intentional, like a river carrying you to uncharted emotional territory. It’s perfect for flipping through when you need a quick dose of inspiration or sitting with when you’re in the mood to get lost in thought.


This book hit me hard—in the best way possible. Some poems left me teary-eyed; others had me closing my eyes and just feeling the words. The way Kanchi captures emotions like love and oneness is breathtaking. It’s like she knows exactly what your soul needs and delivers it through her poetry.


The beauty of this book lies in its relatability and depth. The colorful pages add an artistic touch that makes reading even more immersive. And let’s not forget the universal themes—it doesn’t matter where you are in life; you’ll find something in these poems that speaks to you.


If I’m nitpicking, I’d say some poems felt abstract at first, almost like they required an extra layer of effort to unravel. A brief introduction about the inspiration behind the collection might have helped connect readers even more.


Reading this book was like having a heart-to-heart with someone who gets it. I found myself bookmarking lines, rereading certain poems, and even reading a few aloud to let the words sink in. It’s the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page.


In Search of Myself: A Journey Towards Nothingness is more than a poetry book—it’s a companion for anyone on a quest for meaning. If you’re someone who loves introspective reads or just wants a little calm in the chaos, pick this one up. Trust me, it’ll be worth it.
