A barren piece of land, The canvas for the farmer. It turned to life in its time, Nurtured with love and patience. Brushstrokes of Nature Epitomized new beginnings, Spring hues told a colourful story In winters, the mustard fields gave their glory. (c) Pallavi Lumba – June 2021.

Can’t we for once learn to rise,Continue reading “Voices”

Finding none,Continue reading “To, My Forever 78 Girl”
