As you open this book, you actively step into the world of raw and real emotions. Through the Mind's Eyes: Poems of Today, Stories of Tomorrow is a heartfelt collection that invites you to explore the depths of the human experience through 50 earnest poems with a horizon of themes including love, childhood, and the overall human life experience. Towards the end of the book, you will be greeted with a short novella, "Till death do us apart", inspired by writer C.L. Swinney's work. Lastly, the book ends with a science fiction tale, adapted from Isaac Asimov's "The ugly little boy", the most heart touching and precious mother-son relationship story.

All the poems within this book are personal, and reflective. I wanted to capture all the fleeting moments of joy, loss, love, and hope. They are a mirror to my heart, offering a glimpse into my personal journey and the emotions that shape us all as humans. While our emotions anchor us in the present, our imagination propels us into the future. "Feelings are much like waves, we can't stop them from coming, but we can choose which ones to surf." -Jonatan Märtensson; and I, Aditi Gangwar, choose to surf them all.

Whether you're a dreamer, a thinker, or simply a feeler, this book promises to leave a lasting mark on your heart and mind.
