About this audiobook
“Reflections in Autumn – Collection of Poems: Windows into Small Worlds” is about places and people, wonders of nature, complexity of emotions, and scientific discoveries. Like parables, these poems inspire contemplation about life. They are grouped into four chapters: Travel, Memories with Family and Friends, On Walks, and Musings on Science.
The author, George Chandy, is a retired physician-scientist whose research focused on potassium ion channels and their role in various diseases. He was repeatedly ranked among the most highly cited scientists in the world. “Reflections in Autumn” began as a memory exercise. Encouraged by family and friends this collection is his first endeavor to write in poetic form,
“Evocative and reflective: marvelously capturing places, people, moods and emotions” (Meera Parkhe, Australia). “Beautiful rhymes and images coming together to bring events, people and memories to life.” (Ashok Roy, UK). “Personal, yet universal. Impressionist art, capturing moment and eternity. Memory-deep stories unraveled by the click of a camera. Poems about children and hope.” (Mani Chandy, USA). “His deep scientific background, historian, depth of inquiries into many areas of life has brought a rich profound touch to the poetry page. Readers will receive a gift of quiet moments, as well as engaging the mind into new horizons. His work is a treasure to add to one’s life.” (Patricia Truman, USA). “Poetic travelogue through life on people, places, emotions” (Isha Garg, India). “Picturesque poems captivating our senses, a riot of landscapes, exotic people, and historical events” (Suzy Thomas, India).
In this 'Poetry For Pads' Initiative, the proceeds from the sale of this book will support the award-winning NGO, Days For Girls (https://www.daysforgirls.org/), that works to shatter stigma and limitations associated with menstruation to improve health, education, livelihoods and empowerment of women and girls in 145 countries on six continents.
