These poems, her 'textured words', crafted with fluid ease, will leave their impress on the reader, sometimes subtle, sometimes strong.Priti AisolaAuthor: Silence as Teacher and Other Poems, See Paris for Me, Beyond the GopuramsSindhoor's Eight Armed Goddess is mysteriously attractive, has lustrous eyes, a beautiful face, is bejeweled, draped in red silk, and carries hidden weapons. She is fearless, can carry 'venom', and yearns for 'freedom' from a claustrophobic existence. She is any woman - a doting daughter, a young maiden, a bride, a lover, a wife, a mother... who has experienced transformation. The metamorphosis is not easy but painful. She carries hurt and passion like a devouring flame. She is misunderstood. But in truth, she is Love and only Love. This collection of poems is a treasure of gems, artistically crafted to perfection with wonderful use of words. The poems touch your heart. In other words, one should not miss reading 'Eight Armed Goddess'.Geetha VarmaAuthor: To My Violi
