LiFT: Tell us about your book, the journey of writing it and its content.
Bitumani Borah: I believe that poetry has the extraordinary power to touch our hearts. I am a busy corporate professional, but I do like to write creative content. Poetry is the best way to express my feelings in few words but greater impact. ‘Soulful Connections’ is a celebration of the connections that shape our lives and a reminder that we can find strength and beauty even in the most trying times. While we experience life day to day, giving it a poetic expression was my aim and hence I wrote down a poetry book autobiography.
