Harleen is an architect by day and an avid reader turned writer at night. Having written poems for a couple of anthologies, she had envisioned to write her own poetry book at some point. She takes great pleasure in writing and designing, thus, puts her creative energies into designing book covers as well.
Prior to her writing career, after having completed her Bachelor in Architecture, she also pursued to specialize in computational design at Masters level from UIC Barcelona. But choosing architecture was not always her first choice — she has felt an affinity towards literature since her younger days. Her love for the British classics — Wuthering Heights, Tom Sawyer & David Copperfield — precedes all other things.
Harleen believes that if a person translates their feelings into any type of art, it gives the moment more meaning — and we sort of end up with a souvenir of the feeling. Isn't it a nice thing to have, to look back to?
This book traces the delicate threads of life, love, loss, and a quiet madness that eventually gives way to self-acceptance and wisdom. It explores the revelry that stirs within us — the same force that leads to both our soaring and our undoing. As we look back, memories emerge in shades of blue, slowly warming into rose gold as a deeper understanding settles.
Just as we begin to close this chapter of retrospection, a new beginning appears — though it reveals itself to be nothing more than a ceremonial ribbon-cutting before a quiet departure. The weight of this realization leaves us surrounded by a heavy frost, rendering us cold and numb.
And as if that isn't enough, we find ourselves entangled in side battles, wrestling with fresh sorrows. Yet, like all things in life, this too begins to pass. The ice melts, the heart stirs again, and warmth returns — softly, quietly, but unmistakably.
Harleen would love to hear from you — whether it's about the book, poetry, or simply a kind word.
