Book excerpt: 'Random Ramblings as the title suggests is a collection of the random thoughts of the poet who records the raw and unfiltered thoughts that throng her mind from time to time. It resonates with almost every feeling an adult undergoes or exposed to in her and around her life, mostly perceived from a feminine perspective. Every poem is a celebration of a female spirit reverberating with the changing moods of a woman who battles a tough life losing as well as triumphing, displaying her helplessness, conflicts, struggles and resilience. The liberty of the free verse endows the author to pour out her heart without many impediments. It should also be noted that these verses reflect not only the mind and musings of the author alone but rather the representation of umpteen women who are out there in our society battling alone amidst the troublesome travails.
