Semi epic, one of the best pieces ever written by Gurkha Poets: An epic with a single theme that narrates the sense of excitement before enlisting in the army, then moving ahead to the war front, leaving behind hearth and home in a distant land, being wounded or maimed or killed, then drawing a history of this, then the sense of futility and anger, and then the sense of consolation, solace, and resignation.

From simple, humble sensation to a state of spiritual bliss.

Critics have compared this poet to the Great War poets such as Isaac Rosenberg, Robert Graves, Rupert Brook, Herbert Read, Siegfried Sassoon, Alan Seeger and their poetry.
