Description: It is a compilation of brief and sensitive poems by the author on several issues, public and personal.  It is a spectrum of the middle class insularity in India in the present times where much of what they feel and say are hardly heard.  If heard, they are of no consequence either because of their insularity.  The poems here are in free verse and meter, rimmed with philosphical and social insights. The book was reviewed in The Hindu, an outstanding national newspaper in India recently.  visit thehindu.com on Book Review page November 15, 2011.
