From the Introduction
Lucas says, “…there are moments in life when the transience and sadness of existence are made bearable only by their poetry…”. And such is the poetry of Satish Verma. And again,
There are people in the world, a few, who carry into the art of living, consciously or not, a certain grace, a certain fineness, a certain sense of style which redeems them from the sterile futility of most human struggling. They suffer, they grow old, they are forgotten; but they were never ugly, nor squalid, nor ridiculous.
And such has been and so is SATISH VERMA.
