Poetry from a doctor?

Sounds unlikely?

Then do take a look.


This is a poet’s dialogue with life

The eternal tussle of joy and strife

The sojourn of mind across countless miles

Of human affliction, tears and smiles

Dreams, desires, aspirations and hopes

Bound by Love’s invisible silken ropes

Thoughts untethered cantering along Time’s sands

This is not a book but my soul in your hands.


Neeti works as a qualified Psychiatrist in the UK.

Her poems are born from her own experiences of life and from intimate association with human suffering.

She has been writing since her teenage years and has won several awards and accolades for her work.


This book is a reflective and intimate journey through both the agony and ecstasy of life  and would be a wonderful gift for lovers of nature and soft poetry.

Neeti was born and raised in India but has lived in the UK since 1994.

She obtained her basic medical degree in India, then studied and trained as an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Later she went on to obtain a Masters’ degree from the Royal College of Psychiatry and currently works at a Consultant level for the NHS.

Neeti developed an interest in writing at an early age and during her childhood and teenage years, she wrote at local and national levels. In college and university, her short stories and poems were published frequently in alumni magazines.

Her passion for poetry took back-stage for several years whilst she grappled with the vagaries of life. It resurfaced a few years ago, leading to the publication of some of her poems on social-media sites. She developed a wide readership, giving her the impetus to publish this book.

Neeti also writes poetry in Hindi and plans to publish her next book of anthology in this language.

    A truly amazing book of poems. The flow is perfect and the poems really touch a chord in your heart. Thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. Look forward to more such work from Dr. Sandhu.

    I was delighted to receive this book as a part of a surprise book collection at Christmas as I love poetry and also write it too. This is a beautiful and relatable collection of poems too. What a wonderful collection of poems - describing so beautifully the joys and struggles of life. The opening poem - A dialogue with life , is one of my favourites. This beautiful poem in rhyming couplets, is interestingly written as a conversation that makes you question, reminisce and celebrate the wonders and joy of life - such a stunning choice of words too. Other favourites include ‘We are the Civilised’ which makes you really think about how humanity affects so many things that we can make much better and selfless choices for. ‘Mother is a beautiful and emotive poem and ‘Our Modern slavery’ cleverly addresses how the fast pace of life and new technologies impact on the way we miss things and reduce social skills - really makes you think! Thoroughly recommend reading this thought-provoking and heartfelt anthology- it’s spectacular!

  • Hason Sandhu

    A really engaging collection. The topics covered are clearly very personal to the poet but articulated in a forensic detail which I guess is no surprise given she is a qualified psychiatrist! Dr Sandhu writes with real passion and precision about family, the connections we make and the natural world. Recommended.

  • George – Surrey

    Nice and easy to read. Yet and the same time deep and thoughtful. Conveys ideas which one can readily relate to. For example, Dr Sandhu's poem - "Treasures" is one of my favourites. It concludes - "For the most precious yet elusive treasures Are not which money can find They are love, laughter, compassion Contentment and peace of mind."

  • E Boyle

    This is an enjoyable collection that resonated with me. The poems are beautifully crafted, weaving together themes of love, loss and nature. Neeti Sandhu has a lovely way with words, painting vivid images and evoking emotions. The language is accessible, yet each poem invites readers to delve deeper into its layers. Whether you are a longtime poetry lover or new to the genre, Thoughts Untethered offers something for everyone.

  • Nadjmat Abdoulhakime

    Thoughts Untethered by Neeti Sandhu is a sweet and simple book. I recommend you read it by choosing a poem you feel drawn to start with. I started with True Love and then A Smile. Anyone can read and enjoy the wisdom it provides from relationships, to love, to spirituality. It is not filled with extraordinary enlightenment, and that is the best part about it!

  • Laura Hawryluck

    We have all lived moments that leave an indelible mark on our lives, on who we are. Some are moments of growth and some threaten to swallow le us while. These poems help us understand our experiences…what is important …. and can help us heal. Some of the poems that really spoke to me were Down Memory Lane, The Treasure Chest and to Dad and Mom to name but a few. A very special book in which Ms Sandhu brings her poet’s quill and I would also suggest insights as a physician to her readers leaving them eagerly awaiting her next book!

  • Loredana

    What an amazing book. A life story translated into beautifully written poems. The author is so genuine and it all feels so real. So beautifully and cleverly written, clearly the product of an intelligent mind with a delicate and sensitive soul. I know that I will read these poems over and over again as the emotions they convey are so incredibly powerful and real. Thank you for sharing this, I absolutely love this book. It is a must-read!
