   In general, once someone becomes successful in one facet of life, he or she starts getting contented with the achievement. We are privileged that Dr. Shankar Kashyap thought otherwise and in spite of being a highly successful medico, he chooses to pursue his writing stint. We are simply thankful to the writer for the choice he made. The latest testimony of the same came through his poetic excellence titled ‘Musings of a Romantic’.

   This book is a live example of the age old myth that poetry is not only time tested but also border tested. The book explores different forms of rhymes and meters which had its origins in various parts of the globe and also which got originated in different time frames of history.

   Almost all the poems grab your attention in their own rights. Having said the poem like ‘The Leader’ stands out as it’s just a four liner poem and in a span of four lines the poem touches across the present day political gimmicks in a very subtle manner without being politically incorrect.
