"It was a wonderful experience interacting with you and appreciate the way you have planned and executed the whole publication process within the agreed timelines.”
Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalThis slim volume is a collection of poems that address a variety of issues which will be of great interest and importance to readers, both general and academic, Indian as well as multinational. It is refreshingly free of cynicism or melancholy. Written in an interesting and interactive style, each poem has an icon or image attached to it (as a visual complement) and most of the texts carry explanatory notes for a better understanding of cross-cultural references, which is a unique feature of this volume. Readers will find it at once thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking, as attested by the following review comments from across the globe.
John Leong on Butterfly Effect:“... that gave me a brief history lesson on India; never thought about it in that context too; really eye-opening…!”
Freddie Robinson Jr. on No free lunch: “Very enlightening views… Powerfully expressed ..I admire and respect your intellectual honesty and bravery. I am blessed to have read your words of wisdom...”
Silent Oneon Identity and Difference: “Great storytelling.”
Maureen McGreavy on Catch-22: "OH sharp pen! Enthralling read!"
