Welcome to the campfire Akshay Chougaonkar

A campfire connects - the shared warmth blossoms into an unspoken relationship between the people around. There manifests a sense of belonging that we often long for.




'Welcome to the campfire' invites readers to gather around the campfire.




How often do we disregard little inspirations around us? How often do we ignore numerous, fleeting interactions we have with the world around us every day? These are the things common to us all - the things that we all share, yet often overlook. Stemming from such ordinary, everyday observations, poems on the themes of nature, music, nostalgia, love, and internal conflicts in 'Welcome to the campfire' call upon the reader to delve into a tranquil contemplation about little inspirations that we all share, just like the campfire's warmth. This collection of poetry takes the reader through the night in comforting warmth of the campfire, rejoicing raptures of yore, half extinguished intimacies and unremembered pleasures.




Welcome to the campfire.
