Abandoned Friend

This book, written by Sanika Hegde, is a collection of 15 heart-touching and thought-provoking poems on various themes. The compositions are her honest expressions bloomed out of sweet and sour experiences of her own life. The poetry expresses her heart’s elation from a different point of view, with vivid descriptions. The uniqueness lies in her personification of themes like life, death, love, friendship, time, the universe, and her encounters with them to realize her connection with them. Her philosophy is to closely observe and understand the common themes in an uncommon way. For example, she accepts death, which is feared by all, as her close companion, with an unusual positive approach. The book is very promising, and is a fine piece of literary work.
