" Raj Arora is a poet who explores the labyrinthine paths of life with insight and delicacy. He is adept at rendering the poignant ambivalences of love and longing. Raj's ironic observation, his poised pen and his imaginative handling of his material takes him well beyond what he modestly refers to as his 'indistinct rambles'. What is born is not just an idea but poetry that reverberates in our consciousness long after we have put down the book."

"A debut anthology of seasoned sensitivity...sometimes serene, sometimes searing. These paeans to that most exalted emotion - Love - come straight from the gut."
Meher Marfatia - Author, freelance writer and leading columnist
"When you first read Raj Arora's poems, you feel almost like a voyeur. They are deeply personal and passionate, and at times you feel that you don't have the right to participate in their luxurious forthrightness. Yet you cannot help yourself. So you read them. And then you read them again.
His stories are your stories bound by the common verse of emotion-at once exposed for all to see; quietly manifest, waiting for recognition. You will be surprised, you will be cajoled and you will be challenged. So as you peel away the layers of submission to the work, grant yourself the fortitude to be transported to touch the Skin of the Moon..."
