Poetry, Essays & Reflections – Visit My Amazon Author Page

I’m happy to share that my books now have a dedicated home on Amazon through my Author Page. This space brings together my diverse writings—poems, sayings, essays, and reflective pieces that explore consciousness, human experience, and the inner journey. Readers can browse my published works, read descriptions, and stay connected as new books are added.
For many, my writing has served as a quiet invitation to pause, reflect, and rediscover clarity. Having an Author Page allows me to reach those readers more easily and continue that conversation. If you’ve followed my work or would like to explore it, I invite you to visit the page, bookmark it, and share it with anyone who may resonate with this blend of poetry and philosophy.

Testing AI

In a recent exchange with a friend, we debated whether AI’s poetic output can ever rival human expression. My friend challenged me to test it by letting an AI complete the last lines of my poem The Many Guises. The results surprised us both—not because AI mirrored my inner voice, but because it offered fresh closures that were just as valid, though from a more universal lens. This raises the question: is poetry about authentic self-expression, or is it about opening to perspectives beyond the self? Perhaps we are all but flux, wearing many guises.

Madhushala (The Tavern) by Harivansh Rai Bachchan (English rendering in verse)

This English translation of Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s Madhushala brings alive the timeless poetry of life, death, and the eternal joy of the tavern. Through 100 stanzas, the poem explores the dance of wine, laughter, and philosophy—celebrating freedom, courage, and the spirit of living fully. The tavern becomes a metaphor for life’s impermanence, and the wine, a symbol of unending joy and inner awakening. Experience the lyrical journey in this complete, rhythmic rendering.
