Streams of Consciousness: Renavigated

"Streams of Consciousness," was first published in 2012, as an anthology that spanned a period of almost 50 years of writing spread over multiple countries. These poems, an expression of personal sentiment, deal with an array of emotions - love, wonderment, angst, anger, resignation, frivolity, candor, spirituality, and finally the search for eternal bliss.

Readers have requested more poems in the same vein - a continuum of sorts. Thus, this second edition with an added chapter of new poems, with a foreword by poet and freelance writer, Devika Syal.

Being one of the first Asian Indian poets to be published in East Africa, Syal was widely written about. The late Professor Bahadur Tejani commented, "Syal has the spiritual courage to enter the dreadful labyrinth of African past... His precise versification hits the reader like a tank salvo..."

Noted African writer, Taban Lo Liyong, commented that Syal's work is, "...full of fire and passion and poetry and philosophy...awake to the ripples of long ago and shores of past and passing."
