    About this ebook

    Poetic thoughts are perceptions of mind of the poet who takes up the feeling, live to it and the world around him finds a whole host of reasons to be in awe for the good.
    This piece of creative work was devoted to my father, Sri. Purnesh Ranjan Das who was a source of immense strength to me and who showed that every step in the purpose of life was a challenge, to breathe it beautifully and to discover the world around us in the best of the way...

      Remember to think on joy, my love.Remember to think on joy. May it be a steamy, hot bath.Or the incredibly long neck of a giraffe. Crunching a leaf.A crooning song-weep. Sandy shifted, foot-tread whispers.Or the ochre-dusty finger paint, that lingers
