Hues of Pain is a collection of poems that illustrate the tales of oppression, ravage and wreckage in the beautiful valley of Kashmir. Each poem has a different subject who is affected in one way or the other due to the situations prevailing there. From lockdowns to protests, from shelling to pelleting, from killing innocents to crack downs and from internet ban to communication lockdown. The book gets across various stories of loss, pain, agony, despair, loneliness and deaths. It has tales of mothers wailing for their sons, fathers anxious about their daughters, brothers trying to save the chastity of their sisters, sisters praying for their brothers to return home alive, wives waiting for their husbands and children growing up listening to cracking sounds of guns. This book pictures the journey of a valley which was best known as paradise on earth to being a bleeding and burning hell.
