A New World Order with my Birds is a tender, soul-stirring celebration of birds whose vanishing habitats, fading melodies, and fragile freedoms often go unnoticed. When Cyclone Amphan swept through Kolkata in 2020, human sorrow dominated the narrative, while the quiet devastation of the avian world remained largely unspoken. During the long COVID-19 lockdown, from his balcony at 1, Belvedere Estate near the National Library in Alipore, the author found solace in fluttering wings and dawn choruses. Observing, listening, and photographing their fleeting grace, he transformed love and ache into verse—an ardent reminder that birds are not mere visitors to our skies, but living music woven into the very fabric of our lives.
