The book ‘Lei’ is a series of short/ micro poems that are inspired by nature and reflect on different hues of life.
The word ‘lei’ refers to a garland or a wreath in Hawaiian language. In Hawaii, visitors, on arrival, are greeted with a warm ‘aloha’ and adorned with beautiful, fresh ‘lei’ as a symbol of affection. The word ‘lei’ also means flower in Manipuri language, which is spoken in Manipur, a state in the north eastern India.
Each poem, in the book is like a fragrant flower, meant to celebrate life, generate positivism, soothe, inspire, nourish and rejuvenate the Soul.
The book is composed of four sections: Nature, Life, Inspiration and Illusion. Most of the short poems are written following the Japanese style of micro-poetry (a Haiku or a Tanka).
The poems illustrated with soothing imagery, are layered and imaginative, very short and simple to read, and convey a deeper meaning or bring out a new tinge of emotion every time you read them.
Targeted Age Group:: 18-80

I started writing poetry on my blog mainly out of interest. The excellent response that I got from the readers, some of whom are themselves exceptional writers and authors inspired me to compile the poems into an anthology and publish the book ‘Lei: A wreath for your soul’.

Woken from slumber
Waves welcome the rising sun

With its shimmering light,
