Elixir of life is the fourth book of my written poems. The poems are a reflection of life, hence the title. They show both sides of life - the negative or the positive. My view of life comes from the wisdom I have gained as a keen observer of life. The nuances of life, the experiences, the struggles all of these tell a story. I tried to portray them in my poems. Human nature is very unpredictable. Human sufferings teach us a different view of life. I observe and marvel at the resilience people show in the face of adversity. The truth of their realisation touches me too. In repose at night, several thoughts crowd my mind. I try to write them down in my poems. I hope and pray that readers will like my poems and the reflection of life they portray.
