Love, Lies, Life?

Inspire, comfort, provoke- if an expression doesn’t perform either of these functions it’s not meant to reach out. The poems in this collection live up to this notion. Composed in simplest of words they relate with our emotions and experiences yet give us a glimpse of a less explored world which is always around us but remains unclaimed.

Thinker, educator, dreamer Rajiv Kumar Sharma ‘Fossil’ has touched and influenced more lives than well-known personalities of our times. His followers and students are spread across the globe though he is not much active on present day social networking sites by choice. He likes to keep a low profile and is devoted to the cause of education as a highly successful Principal of one of the most vibrant and top schools of India. This compilation of his thoughts spanning thirty years has become possible due to motivation by students and colleagues who compelled him to publish them. In his words, these expressions erupt from time to time to find some meaning and perfection in the randomness of inherently imperfect world. He believes that words have the power to bring change in people. But he also laments that so far even the most sacred and greatest books have not been able to create an ideal society.
