We all meet our real selves in this eternal zone of 'Silence'. This is, when emotions overflow and we pen down all that we often think, observe, listen but couldn't speak. Then we do not pretend as we are, what we actually are- 'Our Real Self'.

All my poems are a result of that turbulent flow of thoughts which at some point or the other gushed like a tornado. But all this helped me in venting my feelings which otherwise would have suffocated the very Being in me.

I have tried to depict the eternal beauty and calmness of Silence here in one of my poems: Silence Speaks. In fact, after having written this poem I felt a dire need to be left to myself in the moments of struggle, pain and trauma. This in turn proved to be a self -healing process. The moment I pen down my thoughts, lesser is the pain of suffering, hurt and betrayal.

I have not taken any formal education in poetry writing as I think that it's more of an inner thing which can in no way be taught in any school of art. It's a passion, a drive within, which arouses reflexes to pen down the thoughts. There are moments when you think you cannot compose anything still.you come up with a piece of art that your eyes couldn't believe. The same has been depicted in one of my poems A Poet's Trauma.

Some of my favourite poems are Indian bride, Setting sun, Nature.a bliss, Women's beauty. Ocean.vast.Ocean as they speak of the aesthetic beauty that lies in mother Nature and Woman, both gestating life within.

LOVE is an emotion most difficult to describe as it is eternal. It's magnetism, purity, and divinity transcends all boundaries. It can in no way be captured in any form of expression as its free flowing. All this I've tried to express in my poems- Magnetism of Love, Me.you...timelessness, To be in love, Why not you?, The lost Love, Let love breathe, Love is God, Suffocating rituals, Love.hurts and more.

I've also tried to touch some philosophical topics which sometimes boggle our minds, constantly question our existence and sometimes unnerve us. Our connection with the ethereal zone, our reflexes, our sixth sense by which our prophecies turn out to be true. Atrocities, adversities and plethora of struggles that leave us blank without any satisfactory answer. All this is reflected in my poems - The Occult zone, Is this life, Why?, Heart & mind, Vicious Circle, Who Am I?, Those bits of Thoughts, and a series of others.

Hidden pain, agony, traumatic experiences, betrayal and emotions of hate are very prominent in my poems. This might make you offensive at times as you go through my poems. This is because when bitterness is released through words.a self healing process begins.

I had a chequered past but in all my struggles God Almighty has constantly given me strength to stand amongst all odds. All my experiences are like those precious tiny petals of rose which I had kept secretly in my books. Whenever I turn its pages all my memories revive. Sometimes these remembrances make me laugh, sometimes they hover around me like a black cloud and sometimes they stir my marrows and unnerve me.

This collection of my Poems - Silence Speaks is about me, my thoughts, my struggles, people who are larger than life for me, my Mother who's always inspired me, my husband who has constantly supported me and above all, God my friend who has always been there for me.

As you go through the pages of this book I'm sure you could relate it to yourself as expression could be different but emotions are universal.

Since the age of 12, I've been writing poems & articles. I was first inspired by my mother who herself has a great inclination towards poetry. All my poems are based on my experiences, observations, emotions and miseries of life. Though I dreamt of publishing my work but never gave it a serious thought. It all happened accidentally when I first submitted my poems online at thepoetsroadhouse.com and received many positive comments from the viewers which made me seriously re-think over publishing my work.

Books of great authors like Dale Carnegie, Robert Schuller, Norman V. Peale, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, John Gray, Stephen Covey, Anthony Robbins, Ken Blanchard, Jose Silva and Osho, have helped me polish myself and boosted my confidence level. They have not only influenced my thoughts but also transformed me as an individual.

Many of my poems were published in several anthologies and journals like Voicesnet, Taj Mahal Review, and websites - cornerpoetry.com, lavender-mist.org.uk, brightlightmultimedia.com, thepoetsroadhouse.com.

Poetry is my passion, it gives me an inner satisfaction. When people read and comment on my poems, it's a blissful feeling that cannot be described in words.
