not a soul to echo my thoughts against,

A woman is strong.
She is loving and wise.

She endures,
She moves hearts,
She laughs and she cries.

A woman does all this,
And yet,
She suffers...

the many cases
where family albums
show strangers' faces?

A play of the nature
But couldn’t become pleasant
To the humans.

That couldn’t remain in the earth’s belly

Like Kauravas

The sun drenchs and heat soaks the air.
It throbbs with fumes.
The drivers of the three wheeled, canvas covered
taxi’s curse, beep, and press

Males in western-style helmets 
drive women, dressed...

Next to the Christmas tree.
Numerous carols sung
Near twilight Christmas eve.
Nourished with special treats,
Nocturnes joyously played.
Namaste to the world.
