Century and a Score

There was this girl who went to Sun City bright as sunshine graceful and witty.</br></br>That was the first line of the Author's poem on Aishwarya Rai Miss World 1994 that won him the first prize in a Times Of India Contest.</br></br>This was soon followed by two more poems that were published in the Times of India one on the match-fixing controversy and the other about Diana's 'death in a car crash'</br></br>These three convinced the writer that he is comfortable with writing topical poetry. That's how the idea of writing a 'book of poems' about the epoch-making 20th century was born later to be nurtured and finally to fructify in the form of this book </br></br>'A Century and a Score'.</br></br>The book is about the happenings and people of the 20th century and 20 years thereafter. </br></br> It 'races through in an easy-going rhyming style and concisely packs information interspersed with wit and satire. </br></br>Happy reading folks!!
