Carpe Diem  (Paperback, Marianne Karmarkar)

This book encapsulates my journey through life - looking back with nostalgia, looking forward with optimism for the future. As Omar Khayyam observed, ‘The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on…’ As Time is evanescent, it would be prudent to 'seize the day', as the title suggests. I subscribe to this motto wholeheartedly and my poems will illustrate this theme vividly. Richard Branson averred, ‘My philosophy in life is that you only live once. Live life to its fullest’. The book is a montage of vignettes from my childhood, the distillate of my experiences, explorations of my soul and cameos of my life. If you are passionate about life and love, travel and adventure and soul searching, you will certainly enjoy this book !
