Here’s a powerful poem in praise of the abandoned subaltern. Read it.
Desire is a strange creature. It’s hard to tame, impossible to extinguish. It speaks to you in many tongues—so clearly and persistently–slowly redefining the idea of you.
Basundhara’s poem is a delightful word play, juxtaposing books & lovers.
Seasons–cyclic, organic, unrushed–pay their respects on time, every time, for as long as we are bestowed with the gift of life. Here’s a prayer in verse.
A romantic, sensuous & beautiful poem perfect a monsoon evening. Enjoy reading.
