Sensitive, thought-provoking and sometimes haunting, poems in this collection often have a misty, fragrant and dream-like quality. They present a charming journey through the years the author had spent in the pristine environs of the Himalayas amongst pine trees and clouds at Mussoorie; as well as the subsequent years negotiating the harsh concrete maze of New Delhi. The elegant words written in the hills evoke a sense of innocence and freshness that comes from living close to nature. The collection winds itself towards more hostile terrain depicting a world where the realm of emotions is of little consequence. Yet, there is an underlying hope, a sense of optimism and a feeling of positivity that binds the poetry.The verses transport you to a special moment in time and place evoking a range of emotions and strike an indelible chord.

Rajni Sekhri Sibal, a senior officer of the Indian Administrative Service, is what a civil servant should be -- still idealistic after many years and as many tough battles. She has always been concerned about all that is not right with the system. Not without paying a price though -- the apprehension, the uncertainty, the transfers and all that goes with it. Her slender shoulders have never sagged with all that weight. For seeing the rose and not the thorns is what she believes in. She lives in the now -- and so we have these poems -- poignant and rich in imagery. Rajni Sekhri Sibal is currently the Additional Chief Secretary Government of Haryana. She topped the IAS in 1986 and received the NDTV Indian of the Year Award in 2013. She has also authored a first-of-its-kind coffee-table book on cows of India, Kamadhenu.
