These two hundred and forty odd poems are based on actual experience. They were written, one poem a day, during the last six to seven years.
All poetry is confessional in nature, from a certain uneasiness arising from doubts about the world and how we have been tackling it. Poetry is a way in which one can make sense of life. The magic of words enthralls us by the pictures they hide.

These two hundred and forty odd poems are based on actual experience. They were written, one poem a day, during the last six to seven years.
All poetry is confessional in nature, from a certain uneasiness arising from doubts about the world and how we have been tackling it. Poetry is a way in which one can make sense of life. The magic of words enthralls us by the pictures they hide.
The poems about nature are a celebration of nature in all her glory. The poems are based on actual experiences of nature's beauty that have evoked pleasure giving sensations in the poet, and the poems try to give expressions to the joy.
Some poems on nature are experiences recreated as if by short brushstrokes, as they have impacted the author’s mind. They may be perceived in layers of sound to a kind of ripple effect touching several things at the same time and are meant to be perceived in a haze.
Some of the poems are object poems, so called because the focus is on the nature of things, on the light that falls on them, telling their stories, the way they share space with other things and us.
Poetry is product of an exquisite sensibility, the ability to respond to complex emotional or aesthetic influences. Is there a sensibility unique to a country or its people, directly flowing from their cultural conscious? Apart from the poet’s own sensitivity to the influences around him, the sensibility relates to the people who form his milieu. An Indian poet writing in English will draw from his own cultural conscious and incorporate in his vision complex
Poetry is product of an exquisite sensibility, the ability to respond to complex emotional or aesthetic influences. Is there a sensibility unique to a country or its people, directly flowing from their cultural conscious? Apart from the poet’s own sensitivity to the influences around him, the sensibility relates to the people who form his milieu. An Indian poet writing in English will draw from his own cultural conscious and incorporate in his vision complex aesthetic influences working on him to produce poetry that relates to his people. Such work will still have some appeal to a global audience because the English that results is a unique creation of Western expression with Indian flavor. The myths that form the stuff of poetry may have been born in the Indian soil but its memes, defined as units of cultural expression, will always have something in them to appeal to a much wider audience.
We do not have daffodils in India for a
Bloomsbury poet to write poems about. But we have our own unique sensory
influences to work upon. But essentially poetry remains a universal experience
that is enjoyed by audiences anywhere in the world.
The 175 -odd poems in this collection are rooted
in Indian sensibility. The imagery used in them are reflective of the language
patterns employed by the people of this country. Their recurring myths are
familiar to an average Indian and do not warrant scholastic efforts to relate
them to their context.
