A Walk Through...

These poems are pebbles dropped one at a time in the earthen ware of mind;

Concerns keep rising questioning the concept of sufferings, ambitions and materialism of the human race that has left behind all relations, ethos and principles.

Ever-shifting paradoxes of society

Raw courage and selfless sacrifice of the soldiers.

All-encompassing beauty of nature spreading joy all round.

This book is an introspection.

Pick a pebble by the fire side and drop it into the silence of inner being.

Alka is a naturally talented person and a nomad by nature. She likes to travel extensively. She listens intently to folklores of places, believing them to be true.

For her, the world is a beautiful place, where she keeps her home as a cozy nest full of hospitality, preparing delicious meals and offering these with a caring attitude.

Organic gardening is yet another passion of hers.

Wife of a senior army officer, she has experienced the pains and pleasures of life from close quarters. These have invariably found their way in to this book.
