10. The ‘Darshan’Fly Effect by Rajani Nair

The author is here with a ‘Darshan Raval’ bouquet, a collection of 50 poems based on Darshan’s photographs.

Hence, some have been written in first person.

 

The name ‘The ‘Darshan’Fly Effect’ is a result of the ‘Butterfly Effect’ theory. It is the veracity (truth), the theory, that ‘When Darshan, not just sings somewhere, but smiles, talks, or laughs, the waves have an impact everywhere.’
