About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What you every day see, quite often appears bland and devoid of any significant meaning - unless viewed from an entirely fresh perspective. And the author, with all lucidity, has a talent of doing exactly that. Simple elements - may it be the sunshine, wind, lakes, trees, the common happenings in our gardens, the faces we see, the monotony of a regular job, the change of seasons; or the common insipid occurrences such as the visit of a dragonfly, the falling of a tree, or coming across a lifeless bird - are all turned on their heads and very artistically presented to the reader; thereby inspiring a fresh contemplation of the seemingly mundane. The author weaves in - in between his short essays, the fanciful follies of the human mind and in doing so, draws on artful humour and boundless imagination to hold the close interest of the reader. The work, in its brevity, much in the way of gentle speed breakers, persists to slow down our frantic pace along the superhighways of our lives. Highly recommended as an antidote to a hurried life.

Synopsis

What you every day see, quite often appears bland and devoid of any significant meaning - unless viewed from an entirely fresh perspective. And the author, with all lucidity, has a talent of doing exactly that. Simple elements - may it be the sunshine, wind, lakes, trees, the common happenings in our gardens, the faces we see, the monotony of a regular job, the change of seasons; or the common insipid occurrences such as the visit of a dragonfly, the falling of a tree, or coming across a lifeless bird - are all turned on their heads and very artistically presented to the reader; thereby inspiring a fresh contemplation of the seemingly mundane. The author weaves in - in between his short essays, the fanciful follies of the human mind and in doing so, draws on artful humour and boundless imagination to hold the close interest of the reader. The work, in its brevity, much in the way of gentle speed breakers, persists to slow down our frantic pace along the superhighways of our lives. Highly recommended as an antidote to a hurried life.

About the Author

He has his own characteristic style of looking at the most common occurrences in our daily lives, with a unique philosophical insight and an entirely fresh perspective of his own. His form is simple yet engaging. A soldier by choice (in the Indian Army Infantry), he is happily married and lives with his wife, Mansi, and children, Khushboo (fourteen) and Dhruv (ten), in Jaipur. This is the author's first ever publication.
