"A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time - proof that humans can work magic.

Carl Sagan (1934-1996) American Author and Astronomer

Lone Walk

 Featured Poem

​

I yearn for heart-miles far now

with separation, I die before her desire

recant her name in each of my whiffs
O' You the remedy of my hundred wounds
I guess even for the brutal cup of death
lodged inside me and dwell by my veins
immersed into my soul, reside by spirt.

Zakir Malik

Poet from Kashmir
