This book- Snippets of the Summer Rain- is my first book to have been published in the English language. I had developed a passion for poetry ever since my school days. Later, after my retirement from the service, I took up poem writing as a hobby. I wrote many poems and posted them online. Some of those poems constitute this book. The Creator is the greatest poet ever. This World is the best-ever anthology. His every creation is a beautiful poem. Life is romantic. Life doesn't have an existence separate from Nature. My poems are about life and Nature and the romance in them. A bit of philosophy and a sense of humor, that could be found in my poems, I would say, reflect the person in me. I am indebted to Ms. Premalata Srinivasan, my younger cousin and a senior English teacher, for her well-written foreword to my book. I thank my publisher, M/s BlueRose Publishers, for bringing out this book creditably. My thanks are due to their professional team that designed the cover page and did the formatting work attractively. I request support and patronage from the reader community. if the readers prefer to go through my poems a second time, I would consider my work a success.
