The title of this book, Trails of Thought, was selected to indicate the similarity between the experiences of a hiker and those of a thinker. As my thoughts navigate through the thickets of biases, assumptions, preconceptions, traditions and customs, faith and doubt, love and hate, compassion and callousness, they often paint pictures in the form of words the outcome of which can be quite astonishing and unanticipated.

As my thoughts navigate through the thickets of biases, assumptions, preconceptions, traditions and customs, faith and doubt, love and hate, compassion and callousness, they often paint pictures in the form of words the outcome of which can be quite astonishing and unanticipated.
Our minds are like a vast landscape of mountains and valleys, oceans and deserts, forests and plain land., shaping the topography of our very being. As hikers follow trails through a dense forest or a craggy mountain, our thoughts guide us through the depths, twists and turns of our minds, thus helping us discover the nadirs of our consciousness and the mysteries of life in and around us. Each thought–however weird, is a stepping stone in pinning down the
imaginations in our minds-resulting in discovering hidden treasures and unlocking the mysteries that lie within, resulting in an exquisite and exhilarating worldview. Each thought being unique – is oft influenced by our experiences and tacit knowledge, deepening our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

The flower - The Lily of the Valley is used to represent Jesus' impeccable character, unblemished by sin, and His unwavering commitment to righteousness.

This book Jesus - The Lily of the Valley, is all about Jesus Christ. The flower - The Lily of the Valley is used to represent Jesus' impeccable character, unblemished by sin, and His unwavering commitment to righteousness. He is the embodiment of purity and meekness - humbling Himself to the point of death on the cross. His life and teachings exemplify the values of selflessness and sacrifice. He willingly gave up His own life for the salvation of humanity, demonstrating the ultimate act of love, compassion and humility. The essence of His ministry was the importance of humbleness. His teaching and example during His earthly ministry have always emphasised the significance of viewing oneself as the least among others. This soft blossom serves as a fitting metaphor for this and Jesus is aptly known as the Lily of the Valley. The title of the book highlights Jesus' life as the quintessence of purity, grace, and humility.
Cygnus, as the name suggests, is a constellation—but here a constellation of quotes, ideas, short poems and tiny tales, all related to real life and through the crystal clear lens of the writer. Most of the little snippets are from her observations of life and interactions with all kinds of individuals. They are real in the sense that they are experiential and not superficial.

Cygnus, as the name suggests, is a constellation—but here a constellation of quotes, ideas, short poems and tiny tales, all related to real life and through the crystal clear lens of the writer. Most of the little snippets are from her observations of life and interactions with all kinds of individuals. They are real in the sense that they are experiential and not superficial. Some are cryptic, others beautifully clear. The variety is largely entertaining and sometimes satirical, yet extremely authentic and accurate to life in general. Like the ugly duckling that became the swan, in this case, Cygnus represents some of the good and not-so-good experiences of life that have gone into creating this beautiful collection of a swan-shaped constellation of ideas.
