All human hearts vibrate and beat. Within those beats and vibrations, dwell and thrive, some salient hymns and rhythms that react, soar or resonate and at times lament and gloom. In the lap of Nature and the realms of life, we find the animate versus the animate or else the animate versus the inanimate. The rivers bequeath bliss or sorrow for posterity while the seas carry histories and mysteries. History and historical figures may educate and guide us while Literature and literary gems may entertain, enthrall and enlighten our hearts. They may acquaint our conscience with certain hopes and specific 'isms'. The different modes of flattery play their dynamic role as the faces and facets of education, sadden and bewilder. The fire kindles and burns as we pass through the phases of war and peace, witnessing the struggle of Nature with Pollution. Tears roll down our eyes, as our hearts are reminded of the immortal martyrs. Activities and actions, rarely embrace the golden modes of silence. 'Hymns and Rhythms', with sixty specific thoughts and dreams, is being laid bare before all the intrinsic lovers and admirers of poetry. The collection is aimed to be in consonance with the desires and expectations of the dear readers.
