As the title reflects, this nonfiction book is an expression of thoughts and ideas mirroring the environment and our experiences. Although these thoughts originated in India, they are universal in nature and represent an outpouring of emotions, thoughts, facts, imaginations, and sensitivities at different levels. Bouquet of Brain Waves throws light on universal bonding, the essence that binds us with everything around to make us feel one with matter, animals and people. The author talks about the simplicity of children and education, in contrast to the present complex system that complicates a child's mind, and shows concern for animals in our man-dominated nature. She reflects on the practical importance of English as a global language, yet her imagination longs to surge into space and its celestial bodies to discover the awe-inspiring spirit of the universe. The poetry reaches the practical as well as the most sensitive areas of life, nature, and the absurdities of living, and the attitude of society toward the female (The divine Devi!) is perfectly portrayed in its perverted form. The author does not try to teach, but in the process, the reader invariably realises the hidden sensitivities, blurred values, changed environment, unavoidable practicalities, and the urge of imaginations that complete our learning in life and nature. A retired teacher, Sumathi Kulkarni lives in India. "The unique characteristic of my country is its multiplicity of culture, language, and religion that bonds its people to weave into a spiritually beautiful nation. It is rich in its heritage spread throughout the length and breadth of its land. One life is insufficient to understand its beauty of existence." Publisher's website: http://sbpra.com/SumathiKulkarni
