The Dream Pod

“Gayatri’s poems are replete with meaningful paradoxes and contradictions that make living so intriguing. When ‘returning’ is the only way to ‘move forward’ and questions such as ‘where indeed is home’ get asked at the ‘hour of completeness’, the engagement with life experience acquires a third dimension, that of realization.”
