" Due to my literary interests, I have often ventured to weave my thoughts into poetry. For a long, long time I never shared these poems with anyone. Didn't quite believe that they would come to be accepted. One does not like his most personal thoughts, coming from the deepest fibre, to be discarded. And so these words just stayed put. I have now managed to break the shell after all these years, thanx to Kavitanjali, whose web designers add so much more beauty to an idea and create lovely presentations for the poems" - Shekhar
