"The words used are simple; the language refined and yet, touching. This book brings out the author’s interpretation of things and changes them into images that stare out from the pages of the book."
As a
young girl I was always fascinated by nature. I would spend time sitting on the
banks of a river, near my house, listening to the water and the birds nearby.
Often I would look up and notice the habits of a few people who came there to
wash their clothes or utensils. This fascination of mine never ceased,
everywhere I went I noticed little things around me and then began writing them
down in my notebook. As time passed by, those chosen words became poems and I
finally found a way of turning my habit into a passion - poetry.
With the passing of time, I got my work published and enjoyed the fact that people appreciated
my work, but since I was too young to realize what I actually wanted to do, I
also ventured into other professions I was good at – Teaching and Interior
Designing. It was the demise of my father that brought me back to reality, it
made me give wings to my dreams and do what I was best at. These days I live in
a beautiful city in India. This city, like the one I left behind is covered by
mountains that beckon, waterfalls that sing and trees that dance in the wind, and
all this provides me with the inspiration to write. I write because it gives me
inner peace, every time I write I realize that the world is a beautiful place
and that there is so much to thank God for.
Myriad
Hues is about the way I think, the hues I see the world in. It is about me, and
yet it is about all of us, our lives, our dreams, our fears, our struggles and
the things that we find peace in.
