Kamal Parmar has crafted verses of beauty, life and childhood memories of India. Her verses reflect a poet’s delight in seeing beauty all around us, in self-reflection and quiet appreciation These poems have an element of diversity describing vivid scenes of India -- images that make the reader peep into the finer nuances of culture in India. The poet remembers them with nostalgia and sensitivity as the reader discovers oneself while perusing these poems.
