Musings on Life by Indian-Canadian author Gurudas Gulwadi is a collection of poems and short stories. Gulwadi reflects on life in the subcontinent both past and in current affairs through a philosophical lens. He muses, oftentimes with wry humour, at the morality and ethics—or lack of—in politics and humanity in general. He presents a spiritual and inspirational perspective interpreting Hindu sacred teachings.
