ManDarpan is a poetic reflection on the many facets of life. These verses draw inspiration from the tender love of parents, the warmth of relationships, and the support of dear ones - all of which enrich our journey through life. Blessed by the grace of the Divine and nurtured by nature, we strive to fulfill our dreams. Along the way, we encounter a blend of sweet and bitter experiences, which find voice in these heartfelt poems. The beauty of nature enchants the mind, while the beauty of the mind elevates the soul. Our mind is a mirror - he who masters it, masters all. Each poem in this collection captures the essence of the seasons, celebrating nature's splendor while also acknowledging the melancholy stirred by its changes. Woven with rhythm and melody, these verses not only entertain but also offer meaningful insights into life's many dimensions. I hope these poems resonate with readers and leave a lasting impression in their hearts. - Shobha Ojha
