Foreword 1

The Eyes with the Mosaic Vision

Poetry is so wonderful it is hard work! Yet it is always reflective of our honesty, and if we are good enough to portray sentiments, thoughts and actions which expose, echo and manifest who we think we are, then we are going in the right direction in our efforts to understand and harmonize our relationship with the world around us.

This is what Vaijayantee has accomplished! She has bound together a series of manifestations through words that encapsulate the sentiment necessary to show that not only is she thinking, but she is not afraid to say she is feeling it as well! How wonderfully accomplished to be able to do this, because not many have the genuine ability to demonstrate such sincerity, and resultantly I am incredibly happy with this opportunity to write a foreword in honour of such a gifted individual’s personal work.

Most of the world passes us by and doesn’t see who we are beyond being just another person in society, yet Vaijayantee rises above such mundaneness by giving to others the chance of being noticed by the public at large. Consequently, she continues to provide interview opportunities for many individuals who reside within a landscape of talents and who through her good offices and sculptured thoughtfulness have the chance of being read about.

Therefore, everyone featured by her feels great about themselves in the knowledge that when we pick up magazines and news features we read about their gifted personalities, without fully embracing the abilities of the person behind the script.

Well through this fabulous book of poetry we are privileged to experience and get to know a little about the person who previously made everyone else feel exalted, and who now shows to us her examples of flair and faculty and insightfulness.

I was personally privileged to work with Vaijayantee during preparations for the second celebration of ‘The Colours of Life’ poetry festival which was hosted in Bahrain in 2013, and which has since grown into becoming an essential annual event within the cultural calendar of the country.

What makes this event so dynamic is the fact that it provides an almost unique platform within the Arabic world for the creative genius of the everyday resident and citizen to demonstrate their efforts and commitments to art and its effect. But, without the brilliance of Vaijayantee
