Kaagithamazhai

It has been raining since the time of dinosaurs. What has it done to the poet's mind? It kindles hitherto unexplored emotions in the mindscape. The poetry collection titled "Kaagithamazhai" is a witness to the coming of age of a youth from a small hamlet in Southern India. It encompasses the worldview of a teen with his curiosity, an adolescent with his insecurities and an adult with identity crisis. The poet's struggle to retain the innocence of childhood is evident in all these phases. The book celebrates the dimensions of nature, culture, identity and love with a tinge of humor.
