To this effect, in this all-inclusive anthology of poems, the author has tried to incorporate all kinds and elements of poetry: the magic of rhythmical language, word pictures and figurative speeches, diction, syntax, and deep thoughts to readers of any age group. It touches social ills impounding at the roots of the society. It is replete with didactic poems.
