1) it mentions the film Hare Rama Hare Krishna in a very beautiful way
2) it has a couple of pages devoted to a complex rhyme scheme - that only a few poets have attempted in hundreds of years - if you buy it for those pages alone you will be rewarded.
But it is a great read and mentions the ghazal tradition too.
