  A review of 'Mortgaged' by Vedvyas Malik The poetess has presented readers a beautiful collection of 62 poems, covering various aspects of life..Quite fascinating and inspiring 62 sonnets in poem book Mortgaged by creative multI talented Rajni Chhabra . ji. By her impressive presentation, she has set a high bench mark for her contemporaries in her just published book of English poems I found her poem SENSATIONS very appealing. SENSATIONS Sensations never perish As long as sensations are alive We thrive. Moment by moment Treasurable reveries Enfolded in lap of time Are adulation of the Creator. Sensations are food of mind and brain for empowered decision making. Every sensation, moment ny moment is necessary nutrition and stimulant to admire God's blessings, all through one's life. I appreciate inspiring poetic message of Rajni Chhabra. . Vedvyas Malik Nilokheri 1 People reached 8 Engagements – Distribution score Boost post 8 8

 PUBLISHED IN SHADWAL, BIKANER Book Review Fathoming Thy Heart by Ravi Purohit Going through the translated poetry collection by renowned litterateur Ravi Purohit “Fathoming Thy Heart” makes me actualize the olden times as if the poet moves carrying the love-odes in the palanquin of words like muslin threads, abysmal into the dictionary of soothing emotional dives. The intricate sentiments perhaps are a bundle of sensitivity mixed with pure hearted airtime call for his beloved who is around in his breath and aura existing like the air, like the water, like the fire with a cool sense of dedication along with the awaiting dreams whom he is looking to make true in the worldly senses. The reader gets fully engrossed into the balsam of moon light where the poet is remembering his beloved and wants to tarnish all boundaries by being a forceful meteorite……’in the pretext of her memories’. Authoured originally in Rajasthani by Ravi Purohit and translated in english "Fathoming Thy Heart...

REVIEW PUBLISHED IN U G C JOURNAL ' RUMINATIONS'   Review by Rakesh Kantiyal LANGUAGE FUSED IN BLOOD : English Transversion of Rajasthani poetry PAACHE KUN AASI by DR. Neeraj Daiya Language Fused in Blood - A Dedication to Mother tongue. If a race is enslaved and if it holds onto its mother tongue, it is as if it has key to the prison it is put into. This thought struck me on my first reading of the poems by Dr.Neeraj Daiya. It reflects his culture, his society, its way of communication, its way of celebration and its way of existence in totality. The poems probe deep into human psychology and emotions and are presented in a very thought provoking way. The beauty about the poems is that they are thought provoking, are rich in aesthetic pleasure and bind you to yourself with a flowery band; they make you recall the good old days of adolescence ad the enriching experience of life This befitting and beneficial recreation, translation of Dr. Daiya poetic masterpiece Pacho kun Aasi ...
