Four Decades – The Prose of My Life is a collection of forty poems by Dr. Shruti Shankar Gaur, Founder of RIEDU, to celebrate the four decades of her life. The publication of this book coincides with her fortieth birthday. It's a sacred birthday present to all the young readers including her younger self, who are still decoding the meaning of life, their place in the world, and ways to navigate through.
Four Decades is an odyssey. Her poems explore the various facets of being an imperfect mother, an affectionate wife, an amateur entrepreneur and educator, a novice thinker and writer, a hard-core dreamer and doer, a true seeker, and an unusual sinner who keeps on trying. The book is a reflection of her core, as she bares her soul. An inclusion enthusiast and an empath by heart, Dr. Gaur’s poems evoke the pain and bliss of life in a poetic way.
