_**About the Author**_
 Anish Chakravarty was born and raised in Kanpur and has 
a doctoral degree in philosophy from the University of Delhi. He has been teaching
philosophy for over a decade. He writes poetry shaped by memory, reflection, and
the quiet intensity of lived moments. His work has appeared in limited-circulation
literary publications._** moments unfinished**_ marks his continuing engagement 
with verse as a form of inward exploration.

_**About the Book**_
 Designed and published as a pocket book, a note by the poet
on his writing process is shared below.

> “_**moments unfinished**_ emerged from my experience of reflecting over moments
> that might otherwise pass unnoticed — an encounter, a memory, a silence, a loss,
> a question, or simply the changing light of a day. I did not begin with the intention
> of writing a book; the poems gradually became a way of attending to experience
> and allowing uncertainty to remain uncertain. Many of these pieces explore what
> cannot quite be held: time, love, identity, memory, meaning, and the fleeting 
> nature of our lives. The title reflects this unfinishedness, not as incompleteness
> to be corrected, but as something intrinsic to being human. Writing these poems
> became, for me, a journey of observing without always resolving, and of finding
> that sometimes a question, a silence, or a moment left open can say more than 
> an answer.”

_**Teaser**_

Time drifts past like a river,
 its currents murmuring secrets only the shore remembers…
each wave speaks, then vanishes, leaving silence in its wake.

17

Speak up for your stance,
 stand accused of profanity. Stay silent, bear the guilt
of surrendering speech, turn to propriety. What remains?

38

We imagine happiness,
 so wide, so blinding, it feels like light. We run toward 
it, though we’ve never known it, and if it comes quietly, unexpectedly, we wonder:
was this what I waited for?

47

That feeling—
 when someone you knew is no longer there. Gone years ago, yet you
remain. Yet with each year, the memory holds him closer, stronger than time itself.
