For various reasons, I had dropped the idea of publishing this third book. During this Lockdown, an enquiry from a friend about the 'progress' woke me up and made me restart the work. It's risky to have good friends😊-Warrier) 2) Sitendra Kumar "A nice digest. I liked inter alia, the article on History and Culture, an account on Saraswat Brahmins.

Readers Write 1) Poetry. : E X Joseph VALENTINE'S DAY THE CELEBRATION OF LOVE The snowflakes show the total purity of love the songs of birds ring the sweet sound of love the blooming flower carries the divine beauty of love the floating cloud follows the tranquil movement of love the leaves of grass rejoice in the freshness of love the glorious sun radiates the brightness of love the distant, soft thunder resounds love's happy laughter the exotic full moon hides the cool, tender glance of love the morning breeze brings the serene soft whisper of love the gently falling raindrops bring the teardrops of love the dark cloud brings the passionate tresses of love the ever expanding universe has the infinity of love the sky of the heart has the mysterious rainbow of love the earth throbs with creation's unspeakable,aching love all existence fills every moment with eternal love. LET'S JOIN OUR HEARTS IN THE CELEBRATION OF LOVE e.x.joseph (While sharing the poem with friends, I observed in February 2016 : "Gentle, Elegant, Cool expressions of LOVE encompassing the entire UNIVERSE In a LANGUAGE, which has been mastered only by POETS like Joseph. May be a 'repeat' statement: A POEM IS ENJOYED BEST, WHEN IT IS WRITTEN IN THE WAY THE READER/LISTENER WOULD HAVE WRITTEN/SUNG, HAD HE BEEN THE POET! This is one such creation! - M G Warrier, Mumbai")
