Bonsaied Rhapsodies is my first anthology of fifty poems. First eleven poems of this collection are about childhood .We know that the best years of one s life are the childhood days. The sweet memories of this period are glorious. They have the freshness of a dream. A child has no responsibilities; He is looked after by his parents. He gets everything without doing anything. A child enjoys perfect freedom. He has no worries, no hardships and no troubles.. A child s life is full of innocence. Through my poems I have glorified sinless divine childhood. And the rest of the poems are about my experiences about life, about my writings, my journey towards destination, love, time, and existence.
