Prasupta Roy is an English teacher working in a reputed school in Chennai. She has done her Masters in English with a B. Ed to her credit. She defines the inevitability of love as, “Love allows us to walk in the sweet music of our particular heart.” She describes love as “the most beautiful and powerful of all feelings transcends all boundaries and unites hearts. It is sensuous, magical, and spiritual and has the power to captivate and mesmerize one and all. Blessed is the one who falls in love and is loved.”
Prasupta’s writing journey started when she was a student of English literature, she has been always inspired by writers and their work. Reading rejuvenates her whereas penning down her thoughts and imaginations helps her to breathe and carry forward her sane existence. So, after her graduation, she started contributing articles, short stories, and poems to different newspapers and magazines. And since then, there is no looking back. Many of her short stories, articles, and poems have been published in the Woman’s Era, The Statesman, The Minds Journal, and online literary space.
For Prasupta writing is her passion and she feels that writing heals her heart and keeps her alive. She has won the award for short story competition at the Litagram Short Story Contest and poems at the highly prestigious ONGC Poetry Competition. She is an author of two romance novels-Lovestruck and Loveswept, and both have got wide coverage in newspapers and have been well accepted by the readers. Ecstasy, a poetry anthology, is her third book which was released last week.
Ecstasy by Prasupta Roy is a riveting collection of 102 poems that takes the reader on a bittersweet journey through the cloying lanes of love, embellished with lilies and roses, and sometimes ingrained with thorns. It brings back the glory of love in one’s heart if it had lost its sheen, somehow. Roy’s inevitable style renders every shade of love, and readers can feel and resonate with it. The myriad of emotions like; supreme pleasure, the trance, the melancholic note, the victory or the loss in love depicted here would touch every reader’s heart and bring back his/her lost memories and refreshen them and make them feel alive. Reading through the poems would make one feel rejuvenated and young.
Ecstasy is the voice of a lover. The poetry will touch all age groups, young and old alike. In the words of Prasupta, “Almost every person falls in love at least once in his/her life and experiences the beauty of it. Love helps one to rejoice in the most difficult of times and ennobles a heart too. But as a rose has thorns too, so there are pangs of love. The sleepless nights, the beautiful feeling of meeting and mating, the pangs of separation, and the joy in proximity have been experienced by all in love. The fragrance of love spreads far and wide. It hurts and heals.”
Ecstasy portrays all the shades of love and life most beautifully and simply that will tug at every reader’s heart and make it a fascinating read.
Prasupta’s astounding talent is portrayed in the blurb of her book, Ecstasy
Here, I have laid bare my heart
Before you to have a glimpse
of all that is in me
and all that I am composed of,
my joys and sorrows,
my dreams and my reality,
my life and my love,
all that everyone feels for.
Here, is the path of salvation
towards my moksha.
