    About this ebook

    Visual Poetry - Poems and Ilustrations

    The poems in Million Miles Away address the eternal themes of love, nature, religion, despair, and occasionally the poet's favourite, insomnia. But they do so with a unique voice, both Indian and modern, creating a blend that is manifestly different from poetry in Europe and the Americas.

    Beautifully illustrated with photographs by Sanuj Goswami

      Perfection

      Should I count the times I had food in my table;

      Should I count the times I had something to look forward to.

      Should I count the times I saw his eyes.
