The Uncommon Life
()
About this ebook
The poet appeals for a life that is beyond the mundane. His love for his motherland and his family permeate every thought he expresses. His anguish knows no bounds when he sees how poverty has maimed the souls of good people and how apathy and corruption have led to a moral and ethical rot. He calls out for truth in our action, deeds and thoughts.
Words and rhyme flow lyrically and unabashedly as we embark on a journey of the human condition, through lands, arcane, pristine and jaded. A traveller, a thinker and a weaver of words, Abhishek Mishra wistfully tell us how nothing changes and yet nothing remains the same.
