Musings of a wanderer, published in January, 2011, is a collection of poems by Shreya Chatterjee. She brings a bouquet of verses from the very roads, by lanes and alleys of the city she lives in. To her, poetry is not something to be kept trapped inside; it should be brought out of the locked rooms and spread around- in the streets. This blogging enthusiast, trotter at heart, and books reviewer-presents, her array of poetic expressions in the form of her maiden book. the book's first edition was published by Power Publishers and the second edition was brought out by Cyberwit.net.

MUSINGS OF A WANDERER speaks volumes about the simplest of things that quietly becomes a part of our life. It speaks of failing and triumphs. The poet speaks of expressions of living moments and of those that are perhaps never to see the light of the day.
