Strain of Thought

Academician,author,poet,and scholar Sulabha Naik recently released her book of verse,Random Musings,at Crossword. Naik shared anecdotes on how she wrote the book. Writing and teaching are my passion and the new book symbolizes my deep,abiding love for life in my poetic sensibilities. Walking on earth for 64 summers has brought in a mellow fruitfulness in spirit,which is reflected in my poems,a dichotomy of sorts as no two topics are the same. Scores of images have been recalled from the mists of time and inked on paper, she said.
