Do you suffer from an aversion to reading Poetry? Does Poetry seem like a niche art of the higher literary type? Have you at times considered buying a book of Poetry to then have second thoughts? Look no further. In this book, the author Giridhar has tried to make it easier to understand Poetry & the meaning behind 196 poems by including footnotes for each poem in what's a first for a book of Poetry.

This book explores many such deeper thoughts through poetry about things that are very much a part of our lives.

A homo-sapient with ORD - Obsessive Rhyming Disorder, Giridhar was born in a city named Dharwad, Karnataka- India, Giridhar always wondered if it's something about cities that makes Art stick in the air & gives wings to those seeking beyond the obvious, The city of Dharwad has a history with the literary kind. But then Giridhar found his true love affair with words was through his mother who held a Masters in Arts & must have fed me a handful of her thoughts, even before he made an entry into the world. Giridhar Jaded led a life of adherence until the age of 35 (did someone say mid-life?) before realizing that the voices in his head wanted an outlet ever so badly.
