About this ebook
This collection is a random selection of my musings at different stages of my life. They do have a tendency to dwell on the same strain of thoughts and may come across as repetitive. I am sharing them because of this notion that the thoughts and feelings expressed in these lines are not exclusively my own and would be the same for many others who may find some happiness in finding resonance while reading them. I stake no claims to any kind of extraordinariness to the content or form. But they are genuine and hopefully will touch a chord somewhere.

Many of the poems are inspired by her keen observations of natureš±š³šļøš»š¤ļøšš¤ļøšš and its šbeauty, others are šsoulful spiritual musings and still others are commentaries on society and the times. Topics include abandonment of parents in old age, domestic violence on account of alcohol addiction, social evils, the plight of refugees, child labour, individual apathy, poverty,and the status of women and the girl child. The poems are arranged theme wise into sections of nature, all around us,you and me, random reflections, beauty,and š¼š¶music and moods. They have rhythm and rhyme, and use metaphors and āŗļødelightful personification. There is šgood vocabulary. The book cover is š¤©gorgeous, dreamy and serene. The major takeaways for me were the importance of šgratitude and ā¤ļølove, and living in the present moment. All in all, a soothing, inspiring and hopeful poetic read. The book inspired me to take the time to stop to smell the roses, watch and listen. To live fully.āØ
