Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of haiku written over a period of seven years and a range of life experiences, bitter and sweet. The topics range from abstract images, nature, the seasons to virtually every dimension of life one gets to experience in the process of living. The poetry is soft and subtle at times and shows varying hues in other places. The writing is sensitive and thought-provoking and has a meditative feel to it. The standard structure of the conventional haiku has been broken at places and this interesting change brings in a new perspective to haiku-writing in English (structurally a very different language from Japanese), being the preferred language of expression by the poet. The small—yet powerful impact of a haiku is often associated with the masterful usage of the language of choice. This compact book offers the reader a convenient medium that can be read and re-read, with varying interpretations according to the state of mindfulness or contemplation he or she is in. This offering could be a reflection of the self for every human being who is able to absorb its true essence. It is also a tribute to one of the oldest and yet one of the strongest forms of poetry—the haiku. Incidentally, the illustrations are also by the author.
