    About this ebook

    At my Birthday party their presence was rife
    With a profusion of gifts and cheers
    All wished for more years to my Life;
    No one wished for more life to my years

    The above Poem which features in the book in your hands speaks about the need to enrich ones life. It should be the endeavour of one and all to live life more fully than one did in the moment before. One can do this by being with nature, going for hikes, listening to music and reading poetry.

    The Poems in this book are the creatures of a hearts response to various situations hurled at one by life. Some of them have appeared in magazines like Amaranthine Muses and Agave magazine. You will encounter ruminations on creativity, love, nostalgia, elephants and mobs along side odes to a mother, a waitress and a musician. The book also contains carefully-chosen images to enhance the reading experience.

    Go ahead and make this book your bedside companion Who knows, it may bring out the poet in you!
