This book is a compilation of random jottings-in prose and poetry form. These jottings are impassioned observations, intense experiences, pungent feelings, truant thoughts that get churned and curdled within the recesses of the mind. They just spill forth as frothy, sputtering words cascading in a mad rush, each falling over the other. For me, writing is cathartic, to exorcise myself of a raging clamour of thoughts. Once they find their way as written words, I have to sit down, seize each one and try to sort them out in some cohesive order. This is what you see, this is what you get and this is Me.
