“The Nine Pebbles” is a collection of nine poems. It is well known fact that pebbles are just stones which are subjected to rubbing and polishing by flowing water. In this process, the pebbles look much more gracious than their original form. Similarly, the poems written by me are a result of me getting rubbed and polished during implementation of electronic governance (e-Governance) projects. The poems cover a wide range of subjects including nature, software profession, personal living, government etc. The objective of writing the poems is to make the reader involved in the subject and try to connect in the best manner based on his / her situation.
