Heartfelt

About the Book:As the name suggests, this collection of poetry comes straight from the author’s heart. Written over a wide span of time, they capture every hue and colour of life. Readers will personally relate and find reflections of their own lives in the broad range of topics covered. Some of these poems may set you thinking, some might take you back in time, some may part your lips in smile, while others may simply leave you amused. The language though simple and colloquial rouses empathy and contemplation and reaches the reader’s heart. The collection also has a wider audience appeal with poems both in English and Hindi.About the Author:Ashok Mimani was born on 30th August 1955, in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra.
