About the Author

Siddharth Achaya spent his early years growing up in Bombay (now Mumbai), Delhi, and Bangalore (now Bengaluru). Trained as an architect, he continues to work in the field, with a focus on sustainable (now ecological) architecture.

His interest in shortform storytelling has previously been expressed through blogs, comics (now graphic narrative) and film. His “Design Thinking” pieces for the architectural publication Biome Diaries (2021) combined comics, poems and illustration to reimagine expository text as descriptive content. He also directed the short film Dr B. R. Ambedkar: Urban Folk Art Icon in 2023, as part of the BLORE visual narrative series by the Bangalore International Centre.

Juvenilia is his first book of poetry.

Teaser

Cage

Is it suicide
If you die of boredom?
Is it a nightmare
If your eyes are open?

Is it tomorrow
If nothing changed today?
Is it free will
If there’s no other way?

Is it obvious
If no one even asked?
Is it worth it
If it’s not meant to last?

Could you tell me
Or don’t you know as well?
Good to have you
With me here in this hell.
