Poems

Hi all. During the Covid-19 crisis, I started writing poems – nearly one a day! They were, perhaps more, thoughts in verse. I have collected them into a book, which you can download here:

If you enjoy them, please donate a few pounds to Catching Lives, a charity for the homeless, in Canterbury, Kent. I have wanted to support the charity ever since I attended a talk in which one of the volunteers spoke to us about the excellent work they do in the area. You can read more about the charity here, or donate here.

Some of my thoughts have been published as blogs. Please read, enjoy and feel free to message me on Twitter @PeaPeaspot.

Thank you for visiting.

The Shrimad Bhagwad Gita, translated in brief by my mother

My mother, Mrs Nalini Chandrakant Shrotri, wrote this in English, translating from Sanskrit. It is a very short translation of the Adhyayas, for those that may be interested.
