A wonderful joy ride, the moments and emotions. Virtual tour of beautiful thoughts
This is my second book of the author Sanjay. First of all, I read very less poems, but after reading it, I changed my mindset to read more poems as it conveys and expresses about the emotions, situations and feelings with very few words.
The deep thoughts are the reason why poetry occupies a special place in everyone’s heart. A poem sits in every reader’s mind.
After reading a structured and crafted writing, gives you a feeling of joy and happiness. Its just 1 hour reads, and the poems are like short stories, rather I would say like a beautiful painting.
My respect has increased many folds after reading the book from the Author’s point of view as it reflects his mind, heart and emotions. There are many words which I can borrow and convert them to my writing that I am proud to express about it.
