If ‘far’ brings nostalgia, then this poetry collection is for you.Reflective and poignant, Silver in the lake, is a ripple of tiny events that brings back the scent of home. A pichora found in the almirah, an October wind whispering the name of badhi, a suffocating modern life waiting for Sanjeevani or the butterflies bringing memories of the cholias. Further, brief information on all the subjects along with questions for readers have been added to make the whole experience of poetry enriching and interactive.

The silver of culture, cuisine and life of the hill people is sure to linger for long in the eye of the readers, alongside, encouraging them to share the stories of their homeland. The feeling of belongingness to their own place will let them float uninhibited over the lake of poetry.
