"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 PalStraying into the Green and Other Poems is a collection of poems mainly showcasing an urban born and bred man's close observations, recollections and a bit of imagination, in his days of leisure post retirement.
It offers one an opportunity to enjoy the perks of our green world, whenever and wherever one happens to come across it. Nature has a certain benign and healthy aspect about it. Poets have successfully decoded it and educated the world through their immortal poems.
Nature, they say, empathises with the man and delivers the much-needed peace, tranquillity and rejuvenation in this complex and materialistic world, which is full of stress and chaos all around. It is without a doubt, one of the best antidotes to the mounting urban issues.
This collection would surely make a good read for those seeking to escape into a few moments of peace and tranquillity for a change.
