About The Book

With introspective meditations on the inner and the outer world, Lalit Mohan Sharma adheres to the way John Keats subscribed in one of his letters, “to let the mind be a thoroughfare for thoughts”. Investigating his impressions of the political, social, familial, personal and the private segments of life, Sharma, invokes the sound of words and their symbolic associations in arriving at his version of the poetic insights into the measureless depth and breadth of human experience. He captures the textures of modern life—be it spiritual uncertainty, behavioral algorithms or the quiet rebellions of the ageing mind—and offers a poetic mirror to the reader’s own inner life.
