Poetry of Life Jitendra Raol

The poems in this book are about people and places, their ups and downs, about phenomena I have observed and dreamt. Most poems are of reflective nature: about life and its events that surround us. We take up the challenges and pose ourselves to these events with dedication, determination, devotion and duty with sacrifices as many as we can make. These events mould our minds, rekindle our thoughts and refine our wisdom with new spirit to face more complex problems already waiting for us on our path to the so called ?self-realization?. Isn?t life a serious business! May be yes, may be not! An attempt is made to bring in some poetry in life in this book. It would be useful to first read the notes and glossary. In first reading of the book, the ?Seek Almighty? may be skipped. A few poems (some are prose-like) would amuse, some would prompt a self-analysis and some would inspire. Some have more than one shade of meaning and interpretation - left to the imagination of the reader and her/his background, experiences and feelings. If any of the foregoing happens then some purpose of ?Poetry of Life? would have been served.
