RE: Ripples

 Dear JM,

 

I am glad you like these poems

 

It was natural to remember you considering that , like many others , I too derived inspiration from your writings in Powai Pageant / L&T Newsletter

 

Wishing you well,

 

Regards,

Dear Parekhji : I enjoyed reading your poetic outpouring over a few hours – being a slow reader and trying to absorb sub-surface meanings. It was a delightful literary journey. 

Your cover visual is apt and eye-catching. Formatting of the pages is unconventional. The heavy, rich paper used enhances the presentation value. 

I congratulate you on bringing out your poetic output stretching over a period of 50 years. I admire your patience in preserving these poems over such a long period. I guess, women being good at housekeeping, Bhartibehn, might have helped you. 

Thank you for sending this complimentary copy.
