In the silence between words, wisdom waits
— Subin KhullarWisdom in Verse, opening poem
Wisdom in Verse is a collection born from years of observation — of people, of systems, of the quiet contradictions that define modern life. Each poem is a distillation: a moment compressed into language until only the essential remains.
Subin draws on his background as an engineer, patent consultant, and lifelong reader to bring a rare precision to verse — the kind that makes you read a line twice, not because it is obscure, but because it is exact.
what the poems do
Each poem is a small act of courage
I read it twice in one sitting — the second time more slowly
Subin writes the way a good engineer thinks — nothing wasted, everything load-bearing.
There is a stillness in these poems that the modern world rarely permits. I am grateful for it.
The poem on identity alone is worth the price of the book.
Every reader quoted here found the collection through word of mouth — a recommendation from someone who had already been changed by it.
