Congratulations for bringing out your literary works in the Poetry Book form, in addition to your scientific professional contributions in Computer Science and other areas. Translation in English or other languages of your poems by somebody may not result into original thoughts properly reflected, so I suggest you may yourself record the voice translation of it and publish, which I hope would enlighten larger segments of people.

Dear Rushi,

Sorry that I could not reply to you yesterday as I was very pre-occupied with the on-going conference for 2 days.

I read eight nos. of poems on the same night, although not chronologically. I liked all the eight poems. I appreciate that you always have a good theme in your poem. Those themes are very thought provoking. It comes very natural to you.

Dear Sir,

The cover page of your new book Madhyahna is attractive to me, because, it depicts a scenery where most of people like me wants to sit alone to be peaceful for some time. It is also an ideal place for poets to explore their thoughts for the right words to be arranged in good sequence.

Seven other blogs talk of your books must be very encouraging for you. It shows the popularity of your books.

I wish you the best of your hard work.

Now, I am giving you my overall view.
The poet is a very good observer and leaves nothing as negligible. From a very common scene ( which we normally think, nothing much in it or get accustomed to it) he can build up a lovely poem, showing us that something was significant in it. He is very nostalgic to his village and Indian village-life. He loves life and believes in harmony very fervently. There is a constant and continuous will-power prevails in him to come back to the place he started his life. ( Here I feel sad for the poet apprehending that probably things are not as it were in the village-life. In that case, selfishly I wait that he would compose some stronger poems from his disillusionment).
Apart from all the above strong points in his writing, I feel that if he can give some importance to beats in his poems, it will be more interesting. It can only be known if someone recites the poems.

Rushi, I was absolutely honest in giving my opinion.
