“Our mind is nothing but accumulated thoughts-good or evil recorded from the day the child is born. For memory or thought to work, a brain is needed. Software cannot work without a hardware. When a computer is damaged can we believe that its software is still somewhere in the sky? How can memory or thinking faculty exist outside brain? The neurotransmitters are responsible for the thought process and memory retention and retrival. All are elecrochemical impulses which cannot travel to sky. Our personality, individuality etc. are result of the accumulated thoughts in our brain. It is quality and nature of accumulated thoughts which decides if one is to become a scientist,poet or a terrorist. A guitar in the hands of a layman does not make any sense. If it is in the hands of a musician melodious tunes can come out. A child in the hands of lovable and intelligent parents go to heights.”

“Almost all our suffering is the product of our thoughts. We spend nearly every moment of our lives lost in thought, and hostage to the character of those thoughts. You can break this spell, but it takes training just like it takes training to defend yourself against a physical assault.”

A collection of poems. The book contains poems on various subjects which are close to human life. For example the poem "A thousand deaths" describes the agony of a mother who agrees to donate the organs of her only child who is brain dead after an accident. The poem "The kindest piece of paper" narrates the expression of gratitude of a person to a lady who once helped him when he was poor and hungry. Like these all other poems are sure to touch your mind as you read them(less) "





















































I look forward to reading your reviews.
