"My imperfections do not eclipse the image that I seem to be, in others, and of others in me; I see a play of reflections as grotesque as mirrors in fun fairs and this is not so funny at all, at the image you have beheld."

Review
"The room came alive almost immediately... the audience got engrossed right from the word go…it was as if the audience and the poet's thoughts were made for each other, through the session in which poems that were read, touched almost every facet of life from happiness to sorrow."
- "Fit audience found" by N Ravi Kumar (The Hindu, Nov 23, 2001)
