About the book

Poetry is a truthful expression of what one feels inside. As human beings, our aspirations dreams and hopes are the same, irrespective of the differences to our backgrounds. Poetry is written not only for enjoyment, pleasure or entertainment, but goes a long way in building a common bond of goodwill and amity among people. Very many social issues can be portrayed sensitively or highlighted through this lovely medium of poesy. And sensitively done poetries, in a most beautiful way, can become real eye-openers to several social ills that plague a society. Modern world has become materialistic, hectic, and automated beyond measure, as a result of which people are becoming badly pressed for time, and in process, have even lost the will to seek leisure. Such frenetic lifestyles have taken a serious toll of their mental and physical well-being. It has become all the more important for present day bards to work in directions that will shape people’s priorities to things that should really matter in life in the longer run. All I say is, let’s take time to stop…and smell the roses. It’s a beautiful world. Let’s not forget we all are tourists here en route…We will never know, if we will have a life here again.
