"The Seven Ages of a Woman" talks about the women's life and their suffering right from birth to their death. How a woman is seen as a burden and neglected by society. How a woman is called a princess, but in disguise, she is a prisoner of her house. This poem was very heart touching and has described the suffering of women in a very subtle manner. "Shadows" talks about the LGBTQ Community and their suffering. How they are seen as other by society and not accepted in society. "To Make Love" talks about love and lust and tell us how love is beyond physical pleasure. "Make A wish" talks about the children battling the deadly virus Corona. "Rhyme of Love" talks about the love story and love. "The Graceful World of Fish" talks about killing marine organisms and tells us not to kill them as they too have a fish and they too have a beating heart. "A Memoir of Insomnia and Dreams: Mumbai" talks about the struggle of the narrator's life when he shifted to Mumbai and was trying to settle there. "To Those Independent... And Those not.." talks about the freedom of women's, freedom of the LGBTQ community, freedom of the pressed and the weaker section of the society. "An Unfortunate Learning" talks about the narrator's experience of his vacation in Goa. "An Illuminating Experience," tells us that how some person in spite of having capabilities and ability still could not achieve their goal because they don't get opportunities in their life.
An Unforgettable Pandemic consists of one poem based on Covid "Kovid Kavita" and two short stories inspired by the Pandemic, "Beyond The Pandemic: A Journey of Self-actualization", and "Last Hope".
"Kovid Kavita" talks about the Deadly virus that how due to our ignorance, it entered into an Indian Blood and then complete lockdown and due to the lockdown the MAZDUR suffered most, they lost their means of livelihood and had to return without any means of transportation to their family by walking.
