The word “trinket” is defined by the Latin word “ornamentum” meaning a small piece of jewellery.Ergo, this book “Trinkets” is a concoction, a collection of fourteen little ornaments– fourteen pieces of poetry as well as prose for people across different walks of life; each highlighting an amalgamation of inherently human emotions such as love, grief, anger and joy– all handcrafted with their own gems, i.e. their hand-made illustrations.Have you ever wondered about what it truly means to be human? Or thought of the groundless, preconceived notion of what is supposedly “right” and “wrong”; what exactly do we justify as our “conscience”?Have you ever been bound by guilt of past actions that cannot be undone or by the unrelenting helplessness that accompanies this stubborn feeling? Or asked yourself what “love” truly means (being so simple and complex at the same time)?Well, this book won’t necessarily give you the answers to all these thought-inducing questions but will give you a glimpse of what just another human, a wanderer, has learnt on her trek through this mind-boggling journey we call life.We are sailors across this endless sea–"Fluctuat nec mergitur”“She is tossed by the waves but doesn’t sink”Are you ready to dive in?
