Prison days and other poems, written during 1933 to 1938 astutely reflect the mood of the period, the cry for freedom and its reverberations. The lonely chambers of the prison, though bolted and barred, also created freedom of spirit, hope and vision. The meaning of existence, instead of plying into humiliation, gave the prisoners hope of tomorrow which would bring deliverance. Deeply insightful and thought provoking, these poems shimmer with a dream like quality. These lines make grass become green again and flowers bloom. Nilambari is a collection of poems written by Ajheya in 1965 - 80, and later translated by him. These poems reflect on the poet's love for solitude, and the bond between the individual and Nature. The poems capture the agony of man that stems from his denial of the true nature of life - perishable, impermanent. Poignant and well crafted, these poems bring the readers face to face with their reality, which is gruesome if denied but beautiful if accepted.
