    About this ebook

    I had the privilege of getting the best out of di?erent cultures over a period of time. Having lived in two continents and grown up in multiple countries has helped me perceive life a little di?erently. Some of the poems I wrote several decades ago still feel the same as things basically have not changed, though time has moved on as our values remain the same. After all we are all humans. Friends, situations, emotions like anger and love at various times have an impact on life positively or negatively. My poetry tries to capture this in words and this is the commentary and observations I share with you.
