Synopsis
"From the heights of joy to a much darker sorrow", Father to Child is a collection of inspirational poems and musing that follow the author's life from his own childhood up to when he has children of his own and wishes to pass some of wisdom to them. It deals with a vast number of emotional topics, from the heights of joy to a much darker sorrow. Akash expertly weaves a number of complicated themes throughout his poetry and expresses his feelings in a beautifully blunt form of honesty. This collection gives a clear idea of what it was like growing up in the author's shoes, how his cultural heritage and values shaped him as he grew up, and eventually how he came to terms with his identity. It also gives a deep insight into the struggles he has faced, in a touching, sometimes even heart wrenching manner. Like all great poetry, these touches your heart in a way you can't quite put words to; I enjoyed the soulful journey alongside the author, Mayar Akash.

Product Description
In this book there is a collection of my reflections. I have captured my life journey in bits since the age of twelve, from a child reaching out to my parents to now as a parent reaching out to the kids. My journey, one of irony, poignient and mouldingness of living. Building and tearing down of the soul, the heart and the mind; shattering, altering of life's course, steering the journey idlelessly through the forest of the modern and the urban life. One's life carrying the burden of culture, values and exprerience of change of "no choice intergration" of the society we live in that rolls the wheels of revolution of kaleidoscopic social fusion of that identity, position and values as one grows. "Father to Child captures some aspect of this."
