The ‘Poems & Songs’ along with the accompanying pictures, lead the reader to reflect on the play of ‘words & emotions’ in a ‘delightful and wondrous’ journey. The pictures/images lend to accentuate the emotions in the poems/songs, while bringing out the depth in them. ‘FACETS’ would ‘open your mind’ and ‘lead your heart’ into this wonderful world of ‘love & adventure’. Whether, you need an easy read on a Sunday afternoon or a book to cozy upto at bedtime, ‘FACETS’ can be that companion as you embark on a journey of self-discovery with the poet. Each of the Poems/Songs in this compilation has been written in one go without any interruption. In order to preserve their originality, these have been retained as such, with almost no editing. This allows the reader to ‘relive & experience’ the same emotions as that of the poet when he composed it. The interplay between the images and the poetry carries the reader through a fascinating journey of ‘delight & discovery’. The poet hopes you enjoy the ‘Poems & Songs’ as much as the poet has enjoyed writing and compiling them into this book. Happy journey!
