About this ebook

A free-flowing poem about growing up different, moving through unfamiliar places, and learning to belong without quite fitting in.

From childhood and changing landscapes to cultural crossings, quiet prejudice, fractured memories, love, loneliness, and the absurdities of adulthood, please IGNORE traces one life through the things that leave a mark, even when no one talks about them.

Part memoir, part social observation, part conversation with the self, it is a reflection on identity, memory, belonging, and the human habit of looking away.

Some things are easier to ignore. Some stay with us anyway.

Some books entertain you. Some books make you think. And some quietly make you remember. please IGNORE feels like a collection of memories that were never meant to be perfectly arranged—they simply exist, like fragments of childhood, places, people, goodbyes, and things we thought we had forgotten. The writing is simple, but somehow that makes it hit harder. There are lines that make you stop, read them again, and sit with them for a while. It feels less like reading someone else's story and more like accidentally finding pieces of your own 🌷

I loved every word of it. I felt emotional reading this poem maybe because I know the poet. Ravi has penned every thought that most of us ignore but is worth noticing. I would love to see more of this :) p.s I read it in line 10-15mins and will read it again after submitting the review.

This poem is too deep...it questions the behaviours which have been normalised by all of us...it notices the impact that goes beyond the surface level. Kudos to the writer...Ravi, you are brilliant! Keep writing because it matters!

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.
