From Our Verandah  (English, Paperback, Sarit Sethi)

20 years ago, Sarit and I first truly bonded over our appreciation for words. As children, we were obviously writing simplistic poems that rhymed. But the seeds of finding our voices as paper meets pen were sown early. Over the years, he has ushered me into appreciating nuances of Sufi Poetry, while I believe I was the one who encouraged him to finally start a blog. Words are also the reason our tumultuous courtship found closure in marriage. Because what we could not admit in person, was often easier to convey in prose and poetry. Our homes across the world have been strewn with little notes of affection and apologies that were never verbalized. But this curation of poems is more than the sum of our relationship. This book exists as a record-keeping device of our separate and collective memories as we take a breath in our on-going journey as individuals and partners. Our words are now yours.
