These days, love is a game of surprises and saying “I love you”, and “I love you too”. Love is not what can be expressed in words or with surprises & expensive gifts. Love is a special feeling, a blind faith. It should be felt by both sides, individually, for each other. It should not be forced. Love can never happen through the brain, it happens just like that, without a warning. All the greatest love stories are between strangers. Whatever happened between them, how and where, explains how today too, humanity and love exist in this beautiful world.
Life is nothing but a collection of moments. Every moment lived fully has a possibility to become immortal. A poet is the seeker of such moments. A poet is the constant seeker of truth also. He would be rebellious by nature. So, it is very obvious that a true poet would be impatient. An adolescent is naturally curious and all of you will agree with me that he is a constant thinker of the philosophy of life as well as of death. So, this is the right age to start writing if someone is willing to convey his emotions. This book (written by an adolescent poet) is not an exception in this regard. The poet is 17 years old, and had started writing at the age of 13. Going through this book is a rare opportunity to go deep in and witness the raw, pure and original talent from the villages of India due to learning a foreign language and a different culture associated with the language. This book also offers us a chance to look at the result of an encounter of an adolescent's heart with the world. Let us be ready to take part in a journey – a journey of thoughts and emotions. This is a journey of ideas and reflections. This journey has every possibility to touch and play the strings of your heart. This collection of poems is dedicated to its every would-be reader with a hope that they would have filled in their insight with more questions and doubts about everything in life than they already had before starting this book.
