About the book

When nothing works, we turn to our mind, the tiny thought within speaking in simple words. Fundamental philosophy in poetry form draws us and we suddenly find our sanity back in our character. This is the swag the poems here give you back. From the window of a pavement prostitute, to travel, and then to the voice within you speaking about Sufi kind of seeking.From elegy to judgement on rape victims. All packed here for guiding you to return to your values.

“The poems here are gritty, acerbic, street-smart, prose-like and statemental in nature. Whether or not the reader agrees (or disagrees) with the poet’s opinion, the voice is always loud, emphatic, sloganistic and strident.”
– Sudeep Sen, EroText (Vintage: Penguin Random House & The HarperCollins Book of English Poetry
