A Bouquet of Random Thoughts : Conversations with Myself

This work, A Bouquet of Random Thoughts, is for all times. It is a collection of thoughts — random thoughts — some big, some short — just like a bouquet that contains an assortment of everything — from leaves and ferns to beautiful flowers — big and small — of varied colours and shades — some with barbs. It is a bouquet, one of its kind — imperfect to an extent — some natural and some deliberate — to mirror humans. Open any page and pick a few thought-provoking thoughts.

This book provides the author’s thoughts — about life, humanism, education, gender equality, politics, livability and sustainability of the world—as an assortment of articles, passages, one-liners and poems, wrapped with a number of thoughtful and beautiful illustrations. It should be of interest to all readers, young and old, as it has universal themes.
