The title is A Glimpse of Life's Paradoxes. The thoughts are philosophical and are ones that make the reader ponder that the things we perceive against the backdrop of what we see and are taught, are not what they appear to be, that's the paradox. And upon recognizing it so wemay begin a search as to who we really are. That's the glimpse into the inner self.

benzinha, very correct.
We try all kinds of methods to curb terrorism, but forget about love. We fight terror with terror tactics.

So many being published and I just a reader now.
The poem is so right about what we show no matter what happens. Love is the only answer as all else, all other responses are not big enough.

Azur, you are so right
at the book release, there was an educator's panel that talked about how children would ask over and over again what was happening and how the teachers had to repsond to it. The emdia does not help by hyping the issues. In Mumbai last year news channels played the terror attachks 24x7 for a whole week. Imagine. All the blood and gore as well.

Well written. Hatred has the keen sight of a sniper that gazes unblinkingly waiting for that slight hint of movement, so that its trigger-happy fingers can take a shot. None else, other than Hatred has this power to shoot down even future. Did you know that in two months time mine too will hit the book stands?

I think the fearful mind does the most damage
and often among people who in reality are not gravely under threat. But it is difficult to convince people of this.
