  • Front flap
  • “ Adrift , as the title suggests will take you on a moving journey that does not follow a set course but navigates from the heart rather than from a compass or map.We are transported into a world where the author reveals the small pleasures in life in a playful, passionate, and intimate way. Adrift, we can wander like a nomad, float like a piece of driftwood, or take to the air on the wings of a butterfly.
  • Shyam shapes the ephemeral landscape in mesmerizing and beautiful-intricate detail. Whether we are faced with darkness or light, land or ocean, or into the stars where “all of us are just recycled stardust,” the journey will continue. Shyam reveals that life is never about the destination but the arrival.”

  • “Here is a war veteran whose ‘glistening medals and manhood ribbons’ vouch for his excellence in one field , and the heart- warming poemsin this debut collection vouch for his expertise in another. Highly evocative, stunning in their imagery, they echo the trills of birds; this poet is very fond of. Short and succinct, pithy and profound, wacky and witty, we have them in all hues in these pages.
  • We walk on, marching steps with the ‘nomad’, as he forges ahead, hiding his scars.Unseen by him, we furtively pick up the ‘trampled, crushed, jagged ends’, he leaves behind.We feel and almost touch the spirits that he sets free on the way, heading towards a new dawn, his footprints, etched in passionate verse, the fragrance of which lingers on.And on!”
