PastPresent (PagePerfect NOOK Book)

Authored by Amruta Dongray, PASTPRESENT is a book of verses. These verses are her 'take' on socio-political, economic and environmental issues. Amruta conveys her messages through commonplace objects, people and the environment. A reader describes her writing as 'simple to understand'¦ reality with rhythm' .
While Amruta was comfortably placed in the role of a wife, a mother and a homemaker, the comforts that were handed to her made her increasingly uncomfortable, leading to, as she describes it 'erosion of her intelligence' . Having grown up with the teachings of how man needs to experience the new, learn and evolve, a four-year-long period of abundance and thus, stagnation, brought her to the brink of unhappiness.
She thanks Dr. Diwan, a friend, for gently waking her up from her forced hibernation.
In her poem 'Cycle' she says'¦'not only did the two-wheeler mock me for not knowing how to cycle, but also made me question how long will it be before I master the art of balancing daily life'¦balancing emotions, mind, body and soul.
