Prelusion for A PINCH OF SALT

PRELUSION

A PINCH OF SALT 

It gives me fathomless pleasure to share my third English Poetry book , 'A Pinch of Salt', with Poetry lovers all over the world.

" Writing a book of poetry is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo," said Don the critic.

Poetry is the world's premier human eloquence, a sheer spontaneous out flowing of sentiments, from the innermost recesses of heart and should be felt in heart of voracious readers. Poetry touches every inch of habitable earth and acquires cultural conquest. It is also cultivating culture.

As for me, poetry is the opening of door, on hearing the knock at the door of mind. While retaining deep love with treasured memories of past, I don't dare to ignore present and cherish hopes for a vibrant future for society as a whole. For me, poetry is reviving past; additionally an instrument of social change, re awakening and attempt to transform attitude of generation towards better. When, I come across chaos in society and degeneration of human values, I can not stop myself from expressing my pang. My poetry explores themes of hope, inspiration, and the human experience. Many a times, our thoughts are poetic; our dreams are laced with little gems of poetry. I just endeavour to pen-craft these dreams with ink of emotions.

My journey of letters is going on side by side with Journey of Numbers. I am into Numerology since 1989 and balancing scales of two utterly distinct spheres, sometimes calls for a lot of adjustment on my part. At this juncture, support of my family is a great boon for me, who always stands by me in pink and blue of life.

Additionally, since, last ten years, I have indulged deeply into translation and trans-verted 22 books from Hindi, English and vice-versa, from Rajasthani, Punjabi and Nepali into English as target language. Overall, whether it be my original poetry or trans-version, my poetry is imbued with emotional depth, varied themes, and accessible language, resonating with readers from diverse backgrounds.

Mentioning a few of my favourite poems : 

*Withered Leaves: A poignant reflection on the fleeting nature of life, where dried leaves are crushed underfoot, once having brought joy and shade to those around them.

*Eternal Loneliness: A haunting portrayal of isolation, where a lone figure sits amidst withered grass, evoking feelings of desolation and disconnection.

*Glaciers: A powerful metaphor for the thawing of cold relationships, urging us to endeavor towards connection and understanding.

The world is not exactly the same for all. We perceive the entire diverse world according to our outlook. Hence, I humbly present the world of my thoughts to you, to interpret it in your distinct way. Surely, I will appreciate your views and treasurable comments about my poetic compositions.

Lastly, my special thanks to the Publisher and entire team for creating this Poetry book so aesthetically.
