"These poems of affection, social concern and philosophical reflection represent modern Indian sensibility in theme, rhythm and diction. They deal with changing contemporary situations and human predicaments in day-to-day life.

They are dedicated to the common reader with the hope that he will find some delight and meaning in them." (jacket)
