Book 13 Of Tornado Giveaway (Package4) Go to Book No. 12 Check all the Books Here Name of the Book : HAIKU AND OTHER MICROPOETRY Author: Madhuri Maitra The Story: "A short poem is a drop of the divine, a brief, brilliant flash. An emotion surges, you create an image, and the jewel is born, plucked out of thought-flow, rubbed and polished to its innate glow. Haiku is like that. Intrinsically beautiful! Some see the beauty and others do not. Moreover, poetry is a personal experience. There’s no saying what will touch the heart, the senses, the brain, and why.

They have searched for meaning and known the pain of that search. They have allowed themselves to grow with every experie...

What a coincidence! I just befriended Usha Narayanan at Facebook and found out that she's an extremely warm and positive person. So easy to talk to! It is interacting with such humble achievers that teaches you a thing or two about success..I quote- " we dont sprout horns cos we do something, do we? There are such luminous souls in the world and we can only aspire!" .- Usha Narayanan And then Penguin India sent me her latest book 'Pradyumna' for an early review. You can imagine how thrilled I must have been. And to top it all, this fantastic Tornado Giveaway also starts with her book. There must be some karmic connection between us. I believe so!
