In Mini's Musings Murthy offers poetry on a wide range of topics including lighthearted pieces about holidays and more serious reflections on poverty, pregnancy and human trafficking. Influenced by her work in international health settings and her career as a physician, public health professional and academic, the collection spans a broad range of influences and artistic tones. "The poems are a reflection of my thoughts expressed as rhymes," Murthy says. "The book will make readers laugh, cry and reflect on the various themes in life including its imperfections." Intended to entertain and engage readers on a varied array of ideas, the book is the first published work of poetry from an accomplished educator and author in the medical field. Concise and focused on individual topics, the poems are intended to convey Murthy's inner dialogue in times of peace, turmoil and reflection. It is intended for audience between ages 8- 80 who enjoy reading .
