About The Poetry Book
This Book which has 50 differently titled Poems , is actually volume 7 of the Book titled – Life = Death – Poems on Life , Death ( 1200 pages ) . This enigmatic collection of poems explores and equates the boundless possibilities of life and death and delves into each intricate inexplicability of survival. Parekh's roving philosophical eye brings the unconquerable richness of life to the fore and yet at the same time explicitly highlights the veracity of 'death' as the absolute certainty of every existence. The poet joyously celebrates the occasions of both life and death with equal panache in each poetic stanza sewn with the uncanny mysteries of this Universe. The poems within immortalize both life and death as the ultimate victories and the two most contrastingly amazing and divine sides of creation. Catapulting the reader to the threshold of ultimate ecstasy; they bring about an impromptu twist with the closure of breath and what lies beyond. This charismatically woven collection of poetic verse would equally enamor the narcissist as well as the simple humanitarian to the core.
This book is a humble attempt to enlighten the readers with the equality of life and death-and to live in both of them to the most unparalleled fullest. Embracing only the religion of humanity, as the Lord has commanded every living being on earth. You cant die in life and cant live in death-each of these components are irrefutably equal in every respect and should be worshipped with due obeisance.

1. INEVITABLE DEATH
Every day I polished my teeth with scintillating toothpaste; scrupulously scrapping even the most minuscule chunk of dirt trapped in the interiors within,
Every day I washed my body tenaciously with raw soap; intricately extracting even the most infinitesimal particle of dandruff from my scalp,
Every day I trimmed my nails; judiciously seeing to it that they didn’t protrude even a trifle more than necessary,
Every day I placed my soggy shoes in blistering sunlight; in order to fumigate even the last ounce of fungus disdainfully adhering incorrigibly to my shoes,
Every day I ironed my clothes with a steaming iron; profoundly ensuring that every single little cringe metamorphosed itself into handsome neat folds,
Every day I applied tons of redolent powder on my skin; spraying every cranny of my armpits with rejuvenating fountains of pungent scent,
Every day I massaged soothing sandalwood paste on my cheeks; in order to impart my fatigued complexion with that immortal shine and bountiful glow,
Every day I wore expensive designer shirts; with an array of stunningly gaudy designs embossed within; making me the darling of all teenage girls,
Every day I consumed several bottles of sparkling spring water; to pacify the unrelenting fires smoldering violently in my scorched throat,
Every day I drove in a new car; letting its swanky interiors and Herculean speed flamboyantly ignite the dormant adventurer in my persona,
Every day I visited a myriad of valleys and royal palace; with a festoon of glittering images taking complete control of my fading imagination,
Every day I conversed with the most mesmerizing of fairies every existing in this Universe; let the enchantment in their eyes drown me into a valley of perpetual bliss,
Every day I suckled boundless cans of succulent food and ravishing beer; gulped and chewed indefatigably to my ultimate heart's content,
Every day I philandered in rustic cowboy boots through sprawling territories of the meadow; chasing the sheep and peacocks; blending myself profusely with the natural environment,
Every day I sighted my reflection in the most fascinating of glass on the globe for hours immemorial; sipped delectable streams of honey and herbal tea; seated within the plush interiors of the grandiloquently golden aircraft,
Every day I signed countless number of cheques with my bulky leather pen; shaking hands with towering business magnates and a flurry of prominent ministers,
Every day I listened to the most enigmatic of tunes floating passionately on this planet, relishing the mystical froth of the waterfalls cascading through my curled eyelashes,
Every day I gobbled down a battalion of robust vitamins; to fortify and replenish my body against dirt and inexplicable disease,
Every day I donated millions of currency coins amongst all those who badly needed it; dispensed the colossal treasury of my wealth with gay abandon and according to my own will,
Every day I basked in the aisles of unprecedented desire; possessing every intangible object I laid my eyes upon; with the unfathomable power of my wealth,
And yet one day; I found myself buried gruesomely under the morbid corpse; with all my so called ostentation and pretention; now thoroughly blended with small specks of smoky dirt;
Inevitable death had unsparingly mixed me along with infinite others in the soil; and the thing that I was never ready to believe at any stage of my bombastic life; had now snatched me away within fractions of seconds along with my entire mountain of so called wealth and fame.
2. YOU CAN'T STRANGULATE YOURSELF AND STILL LEAD LIFE
You can't compress your fingers and still prolifically write,
You can't clench your teeth and still gregariously smile,
You can't sleep tight on the bed and still boisterously run,
You can't stand in freezing snowflakes and still sweat like a horse,
You can't stitch your lips and still loquaciously speak,
You can't stuff cotton in your ears and still hear the pin dropping on pure silk,
You can't squeeze your eyes and still witness the mesmerizing sparrow shrugging rain drops from its body,
You can't tie your hands and still swim against turbulent waves of the choppy ocean,
You can't slit your stomach with a knife; and still devour ravishing chunks of tangy butter,
You can't paint the mirror and still sight your pellucid reflection,
You can't stand on Mount Everest and still view the world as it is,
You can't consume titillating champagne and still decipher mind boggling sums of arithmetic,
You can't wear cowdung coated shoes and still smell like a supremely redolent rose,
You can't walk upside down and still shake hands amicably with your girlfriend,
You can't walk on red-hot embers of coal and still want your feet to develop extra soles,
You can't have shattered teeth ands till snap through the obdurate shell of coconut in one snap,
You can't have a snow white beard extruding from your cheeks and still proclaim that you were a teenager,
You can't yawn with your Jaws wide open and still remain dry eyed,
You can't be an insane lunatic and still be able to scrupulously recite each stanza from the Shakespeare,
You can't adorn a diamond ring on your finger and still audaciously declare that you weren't engaged,
You can't get as pink as a radish and still say that you didn’t blush the slightest,
You can't protrude out your tongue in anger and still convey to the world that you were a revered saint,
You can't have dark circles under your lids and still perceive yourself to be an innocuous kid,
You can't keep lying on the seashore and still feel in the midst of tingling adventure,
You can't whip the slave left, right, center and still believe that you had blessed him,
You can't act like a crazy clown and still envisage yourself to be the greatest actor,
You can't stammer and still speak with articulate proficiency on the mike,
You can't drive slow and still win the whirlwind speed motor car race,
You can't be bare eyed and still stare unrelentingly into the blazing fireball of Sun,
You can't shout deafeningly and still blow a melodious whistle,
You can't be afraid of a mosquito and still pledge to leap into the unfathomably
deep valley head on,
You can't eat Cadbury chocolates and still expect smoke to diffuse ecstatically from your nostrils,
You can't drape your feet in spiked footwear and still topple on the ground like nine pins,
You can't apply mud on your hair and still experience the silken follicles shine,
You can't keep looking at the changing sun and still tell the exact minute of the day,
You can't have a badly fractured hand and still expect to challenge the mightiest wrestler,
/>
You can't have red ants inside your trousers and still sit unperturbed throughout the business meeting,
You can't have savage blood coated on your hands and still divulge to the world that they were as sacrosanct as God,
