Books by S M Deshpande

This book has been an attempt to depict life in different colours and hues. The life is like silky petals of rose sometimes and like a lone shell lost in sand sometimes. Life is like rainbow peeping through thin clouds after down pour or like lost memories of childhood sometimes. Every poem takes you closer to the treasure of life full of pearls and diamonds and sometimes attempts to emboss that life is number game that puzzles you till the end!

This book The Lost Lanes is a sequel to author's first poetry book Poems of Life, published in 2016. As we grow older, our mind starts wandering often on those lost lanes, searching for those lost memories. Our body reaches first in old age and then the mind, because our mind always lingers back on old dwellings of the memories alongside the deep memory lanes, which are lost in the journey of time!Often we cherish the little joys of the past-small achievements of that teenaged person, the fragrance of flowers by the side of old school, and so on.At the last moment, our mind does not want to accept the demise of the body. It still wants to live further for children to reach sky-high and grandchildren to listen to their fairy tales!
