Overview Ratings & Reviews

“I do not claimthat my book is a literary masterpiece.

This is a book writtenby an ordinary woman with a middle class upbringing. A hardworking woman whoknows what it is like to take life head on, making the most of situations,believing in herself.

She has listenedto her heart and gone by her instinct-doing her best at all times. She has always beentrue to herself. Understandably, there have been moments of dejection and despair, butshe has risen above that.

I am this woman.I know not how to utter measured sentences and I am not guilty that I have at alltimes tried to break the shackles binding me. I have tried to inhale fresh air, live,breathe and meditate. I have always risen above frivolous attempts to malign myactions or lower my self concept. I have done the best for my family, my home,my career. I haveshrugged off disillusionment, hurt and sorrow and with positive thoughts, goneahead with life.”

‘The poems have a very contemporary feel to it. The voice is unabashedly first person,but with a very definite universal feel/appeal.’ - Vidya Virkar, Strand Book Stall

‘It was an evening of revelation for many at Landmark, Numgambakkam, on Friday,29^th June. Nimo N. Menon’s book, ‘ Towards a New Harmony with Life’ Which was launched by actor/director Revathy, is something that would hold the attention of women who have faced life with all the trials and tribulations associated with modern times and overcome them by just believing in themselves’. -Express Features

‘Myriad Moods in Verse’

- The Hindu, Chennai, 3rd July, 2007 (Asha S. Menon)
