Poetry on Life, Death and Society is the twelfth volume of poetry published by the poet and the third volume published under her name. As the title suggests, the poems deal with various aspects of life, death and society. With this volume, the poet attempts to venture into the genre of social poetry. This collection of twenty poems has been taken from a larger collection of poetry. A similar collection was published earlier as ""On Varying Experience"" under the pseudonym of Anavah Moses. A still third volume can be found under the same pen name titled ""Distillations"" under the NLHF publication.These twenty poems explore various situations and circumstances, often in the extreme and bring out the beauty and travesty of life. Written from a perspective of a Bengali writer catering to a British audience, these are topics relevant on a global basis.

Then she decides to dedicate her life to the service of her mother-in-law and her husband's household, despite having the option of returning back to her kin and her family. Yet God chose Ruth for a very important role. She was the great-grandmother of David. Let us look at the life of Ruth, her choices and her obedience to find out why God used her so and how we can follow her example.
