“I have been taught that literature helps you to phrase very powerful ideas and could actually be the solution to your tests in writing or speeches . . . Literature has led my life into an ocean full of jewels . . . Whenever I write I think about the treasures of life. I hope that many people out there would appreciate this work that my parents and I have done. This is yet my short experience on my journey to poetry and what I have learnt from it.” --Rina
