This is my first attempt at writing, that too in verse. I almost feel as if I am trespassing into a territory where even ‘The Muse’ would fear to tread. I am not an academician, neither do I pretend to have any claims at scholarship. Spread across the span of over half a century, these few poems have been taking form and expression in my mind, right from my childhood days up to the present time, and perhaps, are the result of my recollections, reflections, vague and uncertain conclusions, unanswered questions, dreams and nightmares, successes and failures, joys and sorrows, meetings and partings, and a host of other happenings over which one can exercise no conscious control, in the course of a life time. In some of the poems in this collection, I have expressed some doubts, and have tried to ask questions, about certain concepts and enumerated truths, as expounded in some of the living religions of the present day world, that I have not been able to comprehend or understand. I have done so in an attitude of humility as a seeker and a learner, with the utmost of respect and reverence for all the religious faiths, their divinities and their prophets.

Nagindra Mohan Kachroo, was born in Jammu & Kashmir in the year 1919 to a Kashmiri Brahmin family. He is a Science graduate from the erstwhile University of Punjab way back in 1939. After his long dedicated service, he retired in the year 1978 and migrated to Canada with his wife to settle with his children who were already there. Mr. Kachroo has since been there when he lost his wife in the Kanishka air crash in 1985. Such a tragic event made him pen down his inner feelings of grief and sorrow which is portrayed very well in his book of collection of short stories “Moments of Melancholy” and collection of his self composed poems "Weeping Willows".
