                  Till date, Dr. Dinesh Chamola (born in 1964) published more than 71 (Seventy one) books in Hindi and four books in Garhwali.

                     Garhwali language poetry collection Baugalu Matu’ by Chamola illustrates many facets of life in rural Garhwal.

              The poems of present collection assures that  Dr Chamola is keen observer of rural Garhwal including images of nature (rivulets, hills etc), religion-rituals, food habits, changing society, women of Garhwal, animals, seasons, alcoholism in hills, environment, death and identity, aspirations from Uttarakhand and the reality after getting Uttarakhand  etc.  The poet has sense of humor too.

 The 63 poems are of free verses and are created in normal short form.

                   The poet uses simple Garhwali symbols, phrases for creating images of Garhwal, life and philosophy. Dinesh uses figure of speeches for creating desirable flow in poems. The metaphors create energy.   Mostly, the poet does not surprise at the end of poem or stanza ending.
