Bewildering what’s more beautiful?
Is it the green canopy
Or the tall widespread trees?
Witnessing the nature’s blessing with every blink!

END OF THE TUNNELFirst I lost my mind, then my heart.
And then my senses, I lost the whole of me.

With all its cheers from caves, cottages, marble domes and temples,
When now a country honors not classical bards:
