"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 Pal
This book of poems is a recollection of wondrous moments amidst a busy life, when the chattering in the mind stopped and its’ cluttering, with ‘to-dos’ and ‘not dons’ and with ‘what was’ and ‘what will be’, cleared. Special moments when there was peace within and harmony around. Moments of mediation on the beauty of life.
A picture can say more than a thousand words. Most of the poems are brief word-pictures, in the style of short, haiku-like poems, with some longer wanderings into the mountains and woods. These are poems about listening to the world and listening to one’s own mind—poems about discovery and self-realization.
