Book Review : The Blossoming Lotus by J P Desai
A poetry book has the potentiality to grab the attention of hundreds if it’s written as a form of catharsis and not only jotted down in a rhythmic verse focusing only on rhymes and not emotions. This is mostly applicable on the poetries framed on the topic “love”! This book is written out of love for the spouse who is mentioned to be deceased. This book is not only a poetry book but deep emotions attached creating the ambience of true love.
