The Bare Truth

Every person, at some time or the other, at a certain point of life, faces this question: What is the bare truth? Truth, one comes to understand, is not a simple antonym of falsehood, yet it is! Truth is a many faceted diamond, and like diamonds, it is very rare. Yet Truth is all pervading and the facets are rarely seen in the brilliance of the gem. These poems on ‘The Bare Truth’ by the author which together from this book, have been written between the age of seventeen to twenty five. The author has put her poems under five sections i.e. ‘The Bare Truth’, ‘The Pages of My Life’, ‘Pages of Romanticism’, ‘Pages of Hope and Fear’, ‘Pages of Mystic Thoughts’ and the readers while reading these poems, would strike chord in their notion of the bare truth and of life. Most of the poems written by her are romantic, sad and explicitly state her strong faith and belief in God. ‘The Bare Truth’ is a collection of her more serious and mystical poems which seem to take you into a realm of sandy deserts and lovely mountain crags.
