Kashi Ki Diary is my 47th work. It is a little different from my other works. It has prose as well as poetry. Most of the material in it has been taken from previously published books and the latest writings till now are also included in it. The only criterion for selection of works is the relation with Kashi and people/topics related to Kashi. Like Kashi, it is ancient as well as updated. Readers should not think that this is some new edition of Kashi Khand of Skanda Purana, although this work has also been divided into 12 sections. 6 sections of prose and 6 sections of poetry. Every poet has to resort to prose to show his identity. He may write it himself or get it written by others. Perhaps this must have been happening earlier also. That is why it was said or got said that 'Gadyam Kaveenaam Niksham Vadanti'.

This poetry book written by Chandra Bhal Sukumar critiques the common practice of including elaborate introductions, statements, or unnecessary explanations in books, especially poetry. The poet argues that these embellishments often add nothing of value to the essence of the work. He emphasizes that true poetry, like a sacred marital bond, transcends the need for external explanations and speaks directly to the heart. The core message is that if something is genuine and true, it doesn't require a preface or excessive elaboration-it will reach the reader's heart without any words in between.
