    About this ebook

    I have tried to pen my thoughts as they came while contemplating the environment I find myself
    in. The first is a total introvert approach while I consider the plight- of a bird and the “eclipsed” daughters caught in an unenviable predicament. The Nature’s fury addresses the after effect of Earthquake 1993 as a national calamity. This I have done so as to address a sector--- highlighting the inadequacy of the system. The next segment “Mood That Prevails” addresses the unawareness - of life as a summation. The other poems are reflective of the inner travel of a sensitive mind-prone to feelings that have their own ups and downs while musing on. “Musing on” in a way implies a totality of effort in dwelling on a particular development, the impact on the concerned sector and level of corrective actions that should have been visualized---
