A controversial writer we do not know it how it was her life fraught with controversies which she made with regard to sexual love and dissatisfaction. Was she a propagandist? Or, is she a confessional writer?

What does the word Freaks mean it? Is she a freak? What is she freaking about? She is so full of pranks about her personal life and relationship that we fail to understand. None is sure of what it happened in between. To stoke controversies is her job and to be in the media light.

How to write the biography of hers, recording it not her statements, going by her write-ups, but by her husband too? What does her husband say it about her? Is he a maniac girl? Is she love-mad?

What does she want it? How to say it? The body or the soul? Whose lover is she indeed? A worshipper of the body or the soul? Is she a Rajneeshite? An ashramite of the Rajneesh Ashrama? Is she a lover or a feminist? Is she sexually dissatisfied? What is it the truth?

A modern girl she can never be a sadhvi, but one with a tulsimala and rudraksha rosary into the hands of hers just for to show, enact the drama of love as she is not a yogi, but a bhogi. The drama of love, how to understand it, especially her drama of love?

Well a modern girl can be a sadhvi. Being sadhavi doesn't mean to move around with a rosary in your hand, it comes from heart.

The body, not the soul is the talk of hers; , not love the talk of hers as she is spiritually sick, a disciple of Rajneesh from Sambhoga to samadhi and is of some confessional slant.

'his mouth, a dark Cavern, where stalactites of Uneven teeth gleam' - these lines are beautifully descriptive, that I loved so much! 'Skin's lazy hungers' is another expression par excellence. 'The heart, An empty cistern, waiting Through long hours, fills itself With coiling snakes of silence......' - oh, so beautifully described! Loved this imaginative poem of sensuality. It gets maximum score from me,5*****

I am a freak. It's only To save my face, I flaunt, at Times, a grand, flamboyant Iust......beautiful poem on the biological desire on the name of love; we are human; we have feelings; happiness and sorrow - these two are prime fact of our mind; when we grow up and our youthfulness shows us the path of enjoyment the life thru the biological desire; like the fire it burns our inside igniting love flame; but we take disguise shelter on namesake holiness!
