PRODUCT DETAILS

Pebbles Unseen is a collection of poems that depicts the poet's inner self. Pebbles unseen are smoothened by adversities and denials, love and hope sharpen them. They are the hidden treasures of the poet's heart, finding expressions out of the abundance of her heart. They are the experiences that shaped her inner being, gathered by the waves of life as she cried with every little girl who had tear drops in her eyes, observed herself in the mirror, rejoiced with every new friendship, blossomed by the touch of love, tended her little ones and inspired her students to pursue their dreams.Pebbles unseen are the expressions of a scientist-poet, her intense feelings and responses to happenings within and around her. The poet submits the collection of her pebbles at the feet of her late mother, as it reflects the colours of her friendship, spirituality, motherhood and professional journey. Let these pebbles shine forth and create ripples in the hearts of readers as words give her the power to fathom the depths of her inner soul.
