About the book
Looking back, the book is an abridgement of English poems preluded by a true story
and beautifully connected with a bouquet of poems, by the author. His close observation
of people and places, in his hometown, Kashmir or during his wide travels in plains,
deserts, high hill mountain ranges, including the icy land of Antarctica and his
understanding of what goes through a soldier heart and mind, have contributed
substantially to the creation of this book.
The author takes you on a gripping journey through his poems on romance, unrequited
love, motherhood, relations, battlefield, personal loss and social concerns that presently
pose a great challenge to humanity.
