About this ebook

A free-flowing poem that begins with a receding hairline and slowly becomes a conversation about ageing, vanity, control, change, and letting go.

For years, the hairline stayed obedient. It followed the comb, the wind, the touch, and every decision made for it. Then, almost unnoticed, it began to retreat. There was no single moment of betrayal, only a slow conversion from silence to revolution.

Part humour, part introspection, part memoir, OPINIONATED hairline turns an ordinary change in appearance into an unexpectedly intimate reflection on the things we take for granted, the versions of ourselves we struggle to let go of, and the freedom we sometimes have to give even to the parts of us we thought were ours to command.

A playful conversation with a stubborn hairline becomes somewhere along the way, a meditation on growing older and learning that not everything that belongs to us is ours to control.

It was so relatable to me. Not just about the hair, but the deep meaning behind the lines. I loved your writing. Keep publishing these stuff :)

About the author

Ravi Verma is an Indian writer and software engineer whose journey into the world of words has been as diverse as his upbringing. Born on December 15, 2000, Ravi grew up in an Indian-Tibetan community, moving across various hill stations in India as his father taught at different branches of the Central School for Tibetans. This unique exposure to multiple cultures, landscapes, and perspectives instilled in him a deep appreciation for people, nature, and life itself.

Inspired by his father’s love for writing, Ravi began crafting essays in school, winning competitions and building a reputation for thoughtful insights. His passion for writing flourished during his engineering studies, where he started publishing poetry on Blogspot and received encouragement from family and friends to pursue self-publishing. In 2017, he released his first book, Death: An Indelible Truth, followed by The Fanzy and The Ron Case: Early Works, which served as valuable learning experiences in the world of self-publishing.

Ravi’s writing has since evolved into poetry exploring themes of nature, self-love, healing, and human psychology. His first poetry collection, Breeze, launched the “Embrace” series in 2018, followed by Sprouts and Aqua. Around 2021, he published Amour-Propre and Finding Me from the “Unconditional” series, diving deeper into personal growth and self-acceptance.

Currently, Ravi is pursuing his postgraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Management, Udaipur (Batch of 2025–2027), while balancing his work at an IT consulting firm and his enduring commitment to creative expression. Beyond writing and technology, he finds joy in baking cakes, experimenting with impromptu recipes, and cooking heartfelt meals for family and friends.

With a curiosity that never stops wandering and a heart anchored in storytelling, Ravi continues to write with the hope of creating more themed collections that resonate with readers and speak gently to the essence of the human experience.
