A captivating stanza in: “Petal of Hope”
“Whenever a seed gets planted with it a hope also gets seeded
With each coming day it is being ensured that it is well nurtured and feeded
These petals keep growing day by day
With the water of incessant and ever pouring hope
This flower gets flourished with the passage of time
Fodder of hopes and expectations never lets it to dry and elope”
“Blessing in Disguise contain these lines:
“Hardly could it have imagined by the natives of Ayodhaya
That their prince who was going to be a king next day
Denied the throne and preferred banishment
Which otherwise given at that time as a punishment”
“Dream House” poem contain inspiring lines:
“It is no less than a dream come true
A project which got completed after remaining long pending and due
Finally, the moment arrived at the destined time
When a house I always fantasized in the past, has now become mine.”
