About The Book N This book aims at transforming the views of the teenagers of the time when the author wrote this book. The world is not half as good as we know it to be but are we? Are we teenagers good enough? We are the members of the cosmos hence we are responsible for the passionate and electrifying moulding of the future. These days, let s keep the acts of the adults aside but it s also seen that the young souls perform the acts of human folly, injustice, cruelty, hurting the sentiments of others, thereby shattering people s belief from humanity. Change and change for good are two different things. You may change today based on the circumstances but it will be short lived as compared to changing for good which will be for a lifetime. Life isn t easy, destiny isn t fair. We sit right where we are passing narcissistic comments; devastating people and what good does it do to us? The satisfaction achieved by rationalizing the disguised ones beautifully, being the reason of someone s smile, illuminating others home before ours, spreading the vibes of optimism and most importantly focusing on your inner beauty than the outer beauty is much more than anything else on this earth. The poems contained in this book will inspire the viii
readers to inculcate these meaningful values of life and ignite the ardent urge in them for growing up in a prepossessing manner. O ix
Dedication. N Firstly I dedicate this book to all those people who said that my passion for writing is useless. Although in a true manner I dedicate this book to my mom, dad, brother and grandparents. I pay heartiest gratitude to my mother for making me the one who I am today. Also the publishing of this book would not have been possible without the encouragement and support of my teachers and my helping hands Khushi Singhal, Anandani Tanwar and Smridhi Lakra. I would also like to thank all my people and lastly to caffeine and sugar, my companions through many a long nights of writing! -Karishmaa O x
