In the book all emotions/ measures narrated by the poems are of extreme nature. Therefore there is no middle path and the book is about everything extreme. It involves extreme of passion love persuasion hope and resolve. Author has tried to create a new genre of poetry drawing inspiration from English rock music and Urdu poetry. This is the direct result of author’s interest in these two vastly different streams. Due to this the writings may find very young as well as highly matured audience equally interested. Though writing poems comes as an aberration to authors profile yet he has simply tried to portray what he has felt at different phases of life through different inspirations…..
