Life is a continuous chain of experiences. These experiences are both good and bad but both help us live a more educated and productive life. Nonetheless, it is practically not possible to experience everything in the ephemeral life. Yet, it is possible to get second-hand experiences inspired by the lives of others. Yes, it is been inside all of us — the power of observing things. But, what differs from a person to person is — the confidence, talent and the ability to pen down those observations. This book, “Musings of a Muse: Much Cogitated Thoughts,” is an anthology of the thoughts — an inspiration drawn by the author from so many facets of his life!
