The poet’s persona has made a kaleidoscopic view of life events such as the predicament of a human soul wherein it tries to relocate itself within one’s own heavings. Nothing goes unnoticed. The poet’s bird’s eye view captures the ordinary life with all its Eddies and blockages. “A Bundle of Joy” has been exploring the explored in her own way. The choice is her own but the poems reflect universality.

The world with its myriad shades reflects within the eyes of one who look at it, however, not everyone who watch it become a poet, nor all poets who look at it turns a seer.

It is a magic, how Parvathy Tojo, a new bloom in the garden of literature, transforms those ordinary vision into a poetry of profound experience that a reader would feel throbbing within.
