"MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE" is my fifth book. Poetry is to educate people, to lead them away from hate to love, from violence to mercy and pity. Poetry is most compact form of literature. In this book, poems depict different aspects of human nature, changing times, present situations and nature. You read for yourself but while writing for others, one has to be aware as you articulate different situations, with positive thoughts. Sometime, pen is mightier than sword but we have to pen down our thoughts by keeping various factors in mind. I am following my dreams. I belonged to highly educated family of U.P. my parents molded me and siblings towards academic's and sports. My father was my inspiration, for my passion of writings. Poetry just happens, it connects the world. Imagination revolves around me., humanity is the biggest religion. God is my pillar of strength from other world but my loving, caring husband (a retired para military officer) and my family remained my strength. I am grateful to all of them. I am polite, positive hard working and loving person.I accept life with all its drawbacks. I enjoy the simple joys, hopes, fears and life of common man in metropolis and countryside as well. I love all forms of fine arts. I got many awards and trophies for my writings. Writing is my passion. 1.

Popular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Highlights from Volume 8 include: . John Calvin on predestination and free will . poems of Thomas Campbell and Campion . political and culutral criticism by Thomas Carlyle . excerpts from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland . excerpt from Casanova's adventures . verse by Catullus . songs and poems from Celtic literature . selections from Cervantes' Don Quixote . and much, much more.

In The Ash Burner, a sensitive, poignant novel about growing up, running away, and the many guises of love, 12-year-old Ted lives with his father, the local magistrate, in the small coastal town of Lion's Head. All Ted knows about his mother is that she died when he was a boy, and that his father—despite moving halfway across the world to start anew—still grieves for her privately. When he is hospitalized after a swimming accident, Ted meets Anthony and Claire, and is immediately captivated by the older pair. Intelligent and perspicacious, they introduce him to poetry and art, and he feels a sense of belonging at last.
