Fire Drops (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781643248523)

Writing this book involved months of conscious and unconscious preparation. The Physical World, as it manifests itself in every second of life contrary to the world we live in and dream of, is the subject of my poems albeit from a subtly feminist perspective. I have consciously resisted the impulse to depict an imaginary world driven by longings and desires. Instead, I have tried to make a case for a world inhabited by better 'human beings' and a better 'I'. These poems are universal. Students of literature will find these poems spontaneous and brutally honest, and at times, hard-hitting. They don't address a particular society or set of people. Humans and human nature as it comes out in real life settings are central to my poems.

Life falls short if we fall short of words. But, if words fall flat, life is stagnant. I have always been shy of verbally expressing my thoughts, choosing instead to take refuge behind my pen. Insofar as the present collection is concerned, it has been a pleasure like never before.
