Aruhan is a compilation of poems published in various Tamil literary magazines. Neither intricate nor obscure, these poems do not pronounce any message to society, but share a deep, poignant, human voice in a simple and lucid style expressing the psyche of a poetic mind. Anxiety, anguish, apprehension and helplessness- are the undercurrent emotions in them. The book is priced at Rs 110.

The poet added, 'They expose my anguish and helplessness over the growing disparity and heartlessness of society losing its innate humanness, the great quality that distinguishes us from the wild beasts.'

A Ph.D holder in English Literature and an academician, the poet has great love for her mother tongue Tamil. She has been into writing for 10 years and is interested in translation. She has translated Thomas Hardy's English poems into Tamil.

Tamil writer Indira Parthasarathy released the book and Malayalam writer Paul Zacharia received the first copy. Social activist and actress Rohini recited some of the poems released.
