A review by Sir Himanshu Bhushan Jena-

"My Critical Review

Esteemed Forum Shahji,
Your poem entitled "What's happening to the world?" is a perfect depiction of mystery behind the paradox of existential reality. It's really very difficult to say whether we are progressing or regressing .The rise and fall of our life proves that nothing is absolute. Lots of changes have earmarked in our day-to-day life due to direct and indirect impact of scientific -technological advancements .Simultaneously we are lagging behind in ethical and aesthetic aspects of life. Life is getting materialistic and mechanical nowadays.The negative forces like terrorism, treachery, lechery, theft, vulgarity, corruption, fundamentalism,  intolerance and jealousy are growing like the deadly disease, Cancer in our personal -professional -social sphere. The chain of humanity is in crisis.The deserved are behind the bars and the vested interest groups are rising their ugly heads with masked configurations.Amid the hide and seek game of restoration of quality and quantity life plays a forward -backward game . The gulf of difference between quality and quantity is to be minimized first to ensure equity and equality at global scenario. Hearty congratulations to the esteemed poetess for composing such a unique poem on the mirage of life. "
