Me thinks

I was 17 when my first poem was published in an international anthology and since then one thing that has always haunted me is the need to have more poetry enthusiasts in Indian literary world as well.
This book seemed more like an answer to my prayers as I turned page after page to read some mind blowing poems. And ofcourse the beauty is more when you see so many of your friends there.

I loved the way each and every author has tried to weave magic through their words. The only disappointment was the different fonts used on each page which made it a not-so-good read.

Over all the quality of poems supersedes everything else giving you a wonderful time as you drown yourself in those poetic musings.

His earlier books had shown that in spite of material and digital comforts in the world today, we are still living a life of dualities. Happiness-unhappiness, good-bad, God-devil, all exist side by side. Following spiritual teachings of gurus or masters do not give the much needed solace; there still seems to be something missing. The mind, with its constant chatter and habit of delving into past experiences and anxieties about the future, does not allow to live in the present moment and be aware in the 'now'. By the time our mind can register it, there is already a new 'now' which has taken its place. Here, the author has brought us into a deeper existence, where through experiential realiz...
