The Evening Gnome

“Tea-buds gradually release their colour by the astute domestic touch of the Dooars nights to portray a timeless optimism in Saubhik's poems. Within the strikingly contradictory framework of sun-kissed lips and the stubborn sabotage, an intense greenery is emphasised, an adverse destination turns into a rainbow-coloured road during the rehearsal of monsoon”, wrote noted poet Alokeranjan Dasgupta. In Saubhik's own words, “Reality irrespective of its time factor is a very linear and dominating instinct. Although life can’t be attributed to reality’s surface value only as it’s multi-layered. I want my poems to explore the layers of these other realities that surround the superficial surface of any common truth.” Creating a colony of carefully built metaphors used as the essential component of the marginality of subjectlessness—still an experimentation, juxtaposed to the comfort and culpability of subject-oriented practice is the foundation of Saubhik's poetry.
