Most of the time every poets write poems about Women, women's life, women's beauty, heart break or so many but it's very rare to see poems about how men feel. I really loved this book. This book is collection of poem about men who are silent hero of our life, as father, brother, lover, husband, friend. To all the men out their it's okay to be an emotional person, it's okay to feel more, it's okay to be emotionally depend on someone, it's okay to be yourself. All these feelings you will get after reading this book.
Do not forget to gift this book to your life macho or not macho man.

This book is a much needed collection of poems about men in our society. It's about their bravery, their sacrifices and the mental agony they go through. This book is necessary because people need to look at men also as people with feelings and value them. Even good men are taken for granted. The author has done an excellent work. Liked it.
