Koya (Cocoon)

We are all born in a layered cocoon. Throughout the journey of our lives, we are engaged with the layers of this cocoon.

The whirlwind of the passage of times weathers down some of the layers of the cocoon, thus creating a space for us to sneak a peek outside our cocoon and see a ray of light or hear others sob.

These poems bundle up those experiences of rays of light and silent sobs. Sanjeev humbly states that his vocabulary comprises simple words and expressions, and the same has been used in these compositions.
