Some of the childhood memories linger indelible in our mind even after so many years, calling us back to those beautiful days ! Lovely poem, scented with Jasmine flowers ! All the best, Mala !

Dear Valsa, Jasmine and Lotus are two flowers which will linger in my memory for ever! In my childhood I picked Jasmine from the garden-floor to make garlands - can never erase the picture! In my home-language, “Mala” is garland. Love ~ Mala
