This book is a compilation of haiku written over a period of seven years and a range of life experiences, bitter and sweet. The topics range from abstract images, nature, the seasons to virtually every dimension of life one gets to experience in the process of living. The poetry is soft and subtle at times and shows varying hues in other places. The writing is sensitive and thought-provoking and has a meditative feel to it. The standard structure of the conventional haiku has been broken at places and this interesting change brings in a new perspective to haiku-writing in English (structurally a very different language from Japanese), being the preferred language of expression by the poet.The small—yet powerful—impact of a haiku is often associated with the masterful usage of the language of choice. This compact book offers the reader a convenient medium that can be read and re-read, with varying interpretations according to the state of mindfulness or contemplation he or she is in. This offering could be a reflection of the self for every human being who is able to absorb its true essence. It is also a tribute to one of the oldest and yet one of the strongest forms of poetry—the haiku. Incidentally, the illustrations are also by the author.

Tejas and Shreyas are two young brothers, eight and six, growing up in Bengaluru, with working parents and doting grandparents. While they have all the normal interests, like cricket and football, Tejas and Shreyas share a love for detecting. They don’t always understand the world of adults and some of their actions seem rather funny, but that does not discourage the analytical and thorough Tejas as he applies his logical mind to problems, with his much more people-friendly brother Shreyas, helping him navigate the world. They come across different characters in their everyday life in the middle of school, summer camp, summers with grandparents and each of these characters has a problem or a situation in which they find themselves. Together, the brothers detect, mull over plans at night in bed and put their plans into action. They help other children and sometimes, even adults, get themselves out of scrapes and problems, often with hilarious results. Everyone is amazed at their inventiveness, and help in any way they can, from their father pointing them in the right direction, or their detecting partner Mohinder Uncle, or even their own grandfather. From helping a child being bullied to recovering a lost water bottle, Tejas and Shreyas are the little detectives, who are forever ready to help anyone in trouble.
