This book is a poetry collection from Mohit K. Misra, a Navigating Officer in the Merchant Navy. Entering into a state of Samadhi, this author from Bombay intends to leads his readers into a spiritual experience. In 51 poems, Misra shares a comprehensive view of being, with gentle treatment of subjects like religions, charity, peace, sweet sixteen, and even Mom.” These poems are worthy of thought and enjoyment.
This volume exhibits the best efforts of the writer.The book allows us to relax with a thoughtful observer of human experience. As Misra says, “Come back soon; I know you will. No problem if time will stand still.”

A Brilliant Spiritual Work, October 10, 2006
By Peter Boaz Jones "Pete" (Sutton Coldfield, UK) -
Some of the most poignant prose I have come across, in relating to all aspects of religion and spirituality through harmony and unity of purpose. Mohit, crystallises all the main themes of life and its transition into beautiful and simple language, giving the reader a basis for considering these moving criteria easily and thoughtfully. Really it is a very useful tool, when trying to understand these deep and often seemingly complex questions.

Ponder awhile is one one of the most soul searching books of prose i have read in a long time-its simplistic style allows the reader to draw their own spirituality and explore the inner self.he derives his soulfulness from his own life experiences-gentle but awakening.

These poems do make you stop and ponder...Mohit has written from the heart, and his poetry reflects that. He uses the medium of rhyme to convey his deepest experiences of life, and beyond.
These poems do help you see the world from his eyes, and make you think.
Keep it up! and All the Best!
a masterpiece one must have, February 22, 2007
By Vishal Lamba "vishywashi" (Mumbai, India) -
Mohit has composed a collection of very lovely poems, with a lot of deep insights written in uncomplicated simple words. When Mohit first approached me to design his website - I was delighted... and at the same time my experience told me that it will be very challenging and difficult for Mohit to sell poetry online. However, Mohit has been persistent and driven to make this a success - and I request all book lovers, readers and poets to support and encourage Mohit by purchasing his book of lovely poems. The poems can be read and enjoyed over and over again. This is a book you will truly cherish to have as part of your collection.

This collection of poems stimulates deep thought about life, death and religion. Unlike many other spiritual texts the author and his writing do not attempt to impose his views upon others, but they make subtle suggestions about day to day follies and misunderstandings about god and religion. This is a book for anyone seeking for a deeper meaning of our existance and at the same time is fun to read. Mohit through his poems truly demonstrates his love and respect for people and life and most of all god. This book may be way ahead of our times for some but will reach out to many.

I enjoy reading Mohit's poems. He has a tendency to rhyme and synchronize our everyday living circumstances with the divine.
And some of them are philosophical indeed and makes sense to the public at large.

Mohit Mishra has presented a garland of poems sensitizing deep thoughts in worldly reality. The sifting thoughts and emotions seeking out subtle nuances is a work of great mind.
This work can be sustained by deep courage, commitment, daring and restraint. It is possible by people only who love and care for people.
It is with deep sense of fulfillment and urge to read again.
Best wishes,
Mohit
