God Left the Window Open

God Left the Window Open is a thoughtful and poetic collection that explores the quiet struggles of modern life. With a mix of humor, emotion, and late-night reflection, these poems look at questions of meaning, time, and being human. Inside, you'll find broken clocks, strange symbols, and stars that seem to watch from afar each poem offering a glimpse into the confusion and beauty of everyday moments. This book won't give easy answers, but it may help you feel understood in the middle of life's quiet chaos.

I'm Utkarsh Thaokar, a software engineer based in Pune. While I spend my days writing code, my true passion lies in words and storytelling. I've been drawn to writing since the seventh grade, but it was in Covid that I truly began to nurture and grow this passion especially through participating in NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) challenges. These experiences helped me find my voice in poetry and deepened my love for creative expression. I hope to one day transition from coding to writing full-time, crafting stories and poems that resonate with readers the way so many have inspired me.
