This is the second collection of poems. The first one was called Frozen Moments, Mosaic Publications, New Delhi, 2005. Some of the poems here are of the period when that collection was published. They were subsequently published in Asian Age and received readership response. This volume is a reflection of and on internal journeys. These are like the inaudible echoes of feelings and ideas with or without arriving at distances from stimuli. In that sense they are all love’s turmoil or turmoil’s love. These have no colour. In that sense it is no ‘shrngar’ – devotiondecoration.
