As I turned the pages of the book, a profound connection formed with the poems that evoked smiles, awe, and moments of melancholy, leaving a lasting impact on my emotions.

In this poetry book, every poem carries deep messages. It encompasses various emotions, from the miracle of a child's birth to the heart-wrenching experience of losing a child.

While I cherished all the poems in the collection, a few of them carved themselves deeply into my heart. "Dreams and Nightmares," "The Blind, The Deaf," "The Gatekeeper," and "Tales Behind The Tea" held a special place within me. Among them, "Tales Behind The Tea" sheds light on the relentless efforts of women toiling the tea plantations, dedicating themselves to obtain the finest leaves that ultimately contribute to the preparation of tea, served with love and cherished worldwide.
