    About this ebook

    The Verses of Life is a compilation of motivational verses written in very simple language with the purpose of touching the lives of the masses. Life has undergone a major change. People today only live for themselves. And this has given rise to self-ego resulting in selfishness, wherein people only care about themselves. Simplicity and sharing have taken a backseat. This results in unhappiness and stress. Through the inspirational verses, which have been written in rhymes, the book gives an insight to life and how this world and our lives could be much better than what we are living today. It is an inspirational book which would help the readers to introspect on their own lives. It would help to open up the readers mind and would thus give them an insight to leading a healthy and happy life. It also touches upon issues such as terrorism, adoption, faith, and has a spiritual touch in it. There are also verses that are real-life stories that would further inspire the reader and make the reading interesting and enjoyable.

      Preface

      I have always believed that Life is very exciting provided one can lead it in the right way. Often during walking the road of life we lose direction. We tend to get more involved with the peripheries than the main stream. We de-focus and distance ourselves from the core of our existence, which I strongly believe is happiness.

      In our lives today, selfishness has grasped us with its claws. We cannot think beyond ourselves. We do such acts knowing well that it might hurt someone. Today we are more concerned about our position in society and lifestyle. People often spend more than what they earn which causes enormous stress within them. It seems Stress now is the most popular word in the dictionary. But that is not how God has made this world, but it is man who with his present lifestyle is moving away from the Master.
