Welcome to Taj Mahal Review, December 2021! May every day of this New Year bring you Happiness, Love and Prosperity. Happy New Year! The multiple ways connect these poets, short-story tellers and essayists together. A global feel with artists around the world. It is my earnest hope that the impulses, desires, a few admonitions, some brilliant, acute observations will surely comfort our world tormented by the insolence of violence, terrorism, “the whips and scorns of time.” It is hoped that this issue of Taj Mahal Review will help in sustaining a sense of literature and art. The authors included in TMR reveal the very spirit and soul of great writing. Struggle would exhaust all creative artists, so cooperation is indispensable for evolving a society of world poets to create a world free from violence and hatred.

To begin with the June 2021 edition of Taj Mahal Review, it is necessary to state that the journal provides immense aesthetic pleasure to all readers across the world. Its principle is : to publish only original poems, haiku, short story, critical reviews, etc. It is quite disappointing to point out so many deaths due to a global outbreak of the pandemic coronavirus. “The most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all coronaviruses is estimated to have existed as recently as 8000 BCE, although some models place the common ancestor as far back as 55 million years or more.” No doubt, destruction of our ecosystems is quite responsible for the outbreak of infectious diseases. Various academic researches have shown that deforestation and loss of wild life lead to several pandemics. Wordsworth is quite right in lamenting the fact that we are now strangers to “Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health”. This is quite painful and bitterly disappointing to see such a large number of coronavirus victims from all walks of life across the world. I and Karunesh Kumar Agarwal along with all staff members pray that God may grant peace and consolation to all bereaved families. It is my humble duty to thank all poets and short story writers whose best writings are published in this latest TMR edition. I am highly indebted and grateful to all international authors for their kind cooperation and help to make publication of the June 2021 issue of Taj Mahal Review possible.

The December 2020 issue of Taj Mahal Review presents some of the most attractive contemporary works by poets and creative artists across the world. I trust that readers who consider themselves interested in poetry, haiku and short story written by international authors, will agree that the latest journal includes not only quite attractive poetry, short story and book reviews, but also immortal haiku by poets across the globe. The poems and haiku selected for publication in this latest edition of TMR have a special interest as the most attractive images, sentiment, ideas and moods expressed by the poets undoubtedly reveal rare and precious quality of intense imagination and minute observation both suggestive and graphic.

Warm Greetings to all creative artists including poets, short story writers published in this latest edition of Taj Mahal Review. Welcome to the June 2020 edition of Taj Mahal Review. I am quite thankful and indebted to all authors across the globe published  in this  issue.

The latest  issue of TMR features haiku, poems, book reviews, short stories and several other interesting things.

No doubt, the world of poetry opens the door to the divine sanctuary. The poems and haiku included in this edition reveal a remarkable lyrical intensity. Some of these masterpieces written in a simple style full of cadence and simple harmony will certainly attract all readers due to their spontaneous way of composing and vivid power of imagination.

It is really very sad and tragic that due to dangerous coronavirus an increasingly large number of people have died. It is true that our beloved earth has suffered a lot due to our greed and cruelty toward plants and nature. We have failed to experience the 'ancient rapture' in the world of nature.
